Tal volcano: the shortest active volcano in the world
Tal volcano

"Volcano" is a mountain formed by the accumulation of volcanic materials such as debris from magma eruption and lava flow. Volcanoes with eruption records in human history are called active volcanoes.

The shortest active volcano in the world is Taal volcano in Luzon, Philippines, with a relative height of only 200 meters. Mount Tal is located in the center of the beautiful Lake Tal.

Mount Tal is an active volcano that has continuously erupted in recent years. It broke out many times in the 20th century, including 1965, 1970, 1976. During the eruption of 1976 volcano, volcanic ash rose to the height of1500m. Fountain-like flames and steam are spectacular.

Generally, active volcanoes are very high, because volcanic ejecta keeps piling up. And why didn't Mount Tal pile up very high? It turns out that Taal volcano is a volcano.

According to documents, Lake Ta 'er, more than 500 meters above sea level, was originally an active volcano. When it stopped erupting, water accumulated in the crater depression to form a lake.

Many years later, the volcano erupted, and the ejected magma accumulated over time, eventually exposing the lake and accumulating into a new tar volcano in the center of Lake Ta 'er, which persisted for a long time. Ta 'er volcano is piled up in a deep volcanic lake, and its eruption scale is small, so its height is shorter than that of ordinary active volcanoes, and it is the lowest active volcano in the world.
