TAAL Volcano in Batangas Province has erupted early Wednesday afternoon, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said. It said that the white ash and steam plume has reached 820 feet or 250 meters. A fisherman catch fish at the Taal Lake in Talisay, Batangas on March 26, 2021. "This happens when a hot material comes into contact with water, producing steam," Bacolcol told The Manila Times via Viber. It is different from the phreato-magmatic eruptions which are driven by the direct interaction of magma and water.
