공공데이터포털
Mount Pinatubo is an andesitic island arc volcano, located on the southwestern part of the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Prior to 1991, it had been dormant for more than 635 years. After months of rumbling, the volcano stirred to life on April 2, 1991. The next two and a half months were marked by generally increasing volcanic and seismic activity at the site. On June 15, a cataclysmic eruption began with a tremendous explosion. This slide set shows the early stages of the eruption phase, the cataclysmic eruption of June 15, and the effects and aftermath of the eruption. Subsequent calamities caused by the ash, pyroclastic flows, mud flows, and flooding are also depicted.

This volcano is located on St. Vincent in the West Indies. It has a lake in its crater. Born in 1718, the volcano has had seven eruptions including violent eruptions in 1718, 1812, 1902, 1995, and 1997. A heavy ash fall accompanying the 1812 eruption killed 75 people. In 1902, the northern third of the island was devastated within several minutes by a glowing avalanche. The glowing ash cloud descended all sides of the volcano killing 1,600. Evacuation of 17,000 people in 1979 prevented a potential repeat of the tragedy of 1902. Large scale evacuations were ordered in 1997.
