The Kanlaon volcano in the Philippines sends the miles of ash in the air

A volcano erupted in the middle of the Philippines early on Tuesday morning, sent a column of ash about 2.5 miles to the sky and forced the authorities to hang the school in four villages due to the ash.

The area on the island of Negros is around Canalon Berkaneu, one of 24 active volcanoes In the southeastern state, it was still under the command of evacuation from Thuran in December.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said that there are reports of injuries or damage caused by the eruption on Tuesday, which scattered ashes in at least four agricultural villages.

The agency said in a statement that the “explosive explosion” started at 5:51 am local time.

He said that the volcano produced “a huge column with a length of about 4000 meters as it drifted southwest.”

The explosion stopped at 6:47 am (6:47 pm ESTA Monday), the institute later said.

Social media videos showed a wide smoke that slowly extending to the sky.

“We were ready for the explosion. Families with 4 to 6 kilometers (about 2.5 miles to about 3.7 miles) have already been evacuated during the previous explosion last December,” said John de Assis, a rescue official in La Castiliana Province.

Nikor, 22, said that she was waiting for a bus to transfer it to school when he hit the eruption.

“The sound looked like a large rock that fell from a high place, then I looked up and saw (the ash cloud) is getting more and greater than the volcano,” she told AFP.

She said: “When I saw the ashes, of course, I felt tense, but not like nervousness like the previous explosion, because this time we know what to do.”

The third level alert remained – out of a scale of five – in place during the December eruption, unchanged.

Bin Edwards, Professor of Earth Sciences at Deconson College in Pennsylvania, at “CBS EVINING News Plus” on Monday that explosions are all over the world Almost daily events.

“The Earth is made of tectonic panels, and on the edges of the paintings is the place where all activity occurs, where there are earthquakes, where there is a Brakan and other things, and therefore, all this activity is associated with the fact that we live on an active planet where the surface of the planet moves under your feet every day, but very slow,”

In September, hundreds of nearby residents were evacuated after Canalon served thousands of tons of harmful gases in one day.

In 1996, three parks were killed near the peak and many others were later rescued when Canalon broke out without warning, after that.

Where is Kanlaon Volcano in the Philippines?

The volcano is located in the middle part of the Philippines, which is located in the “Fire Ring” in the Pacific Ocean, and it is an area vulnerable to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The archipelago has also criticized about 20 hurricanes and storms annually, making it one of the most disaster countries in the world.
