The number of volcanic earthquakes and sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas emissions at Kanlaon Volcano slightly dropped on Thursday, July 4.
The volcano registered 67 volcanic earthquakes from 90 the previous day, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported.
Phivolcs also said the volcanic sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas emission from the summit crater that was at a high of 5,083 tons on Tuesday was down to 3,779 tons on Thursday.
However, Kanlaon Volcano remains under Alert Level 2.
This means that there is current unrest driven by shallow magmatic processes that could eventually lead to explosive eruptions or even precede a hazardous magmatic eruption at the summit crater, Phivolcs said.*
