PHIVOLCS: Posibleng pagsabog ng Mayon, hindi magiging kasing-lakas ng 1991 explosion

Tiniyak ng Philippine Instute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) na hindi magiging kasing-delikado ang posibleng pagsabog ng Bulkang Mayon kung ikukumpara sa pagsabog ng Bulkang Pinatubo noong 1991.

Ayon kay PHIVOLCS officer-in-charge Dr. Renato Solidum, Jr., less acidic ang magma na ibinubuga ng Mayon.

Paliwanag niya, napakarahas ng magma ng Pinatubo dahil naiipon ang gas sa bulkan kaya sumambulat ito nang sumabog.

Sa kaso naman ng Mayon, nakakapaglabas ng gas ang bulkan kaya hindi ito naiipon.

Nanatili sa Alert Level 3 ang Bulkang Mayon.
