3. Mayon Volcano
Mayon is a symmetrical stratovolcano that is one of the most active in the globe. It has a history
of pyroclastic flows, mud flows, and ash falls, all of which have resulted in large-scale
evacuations. In 1814, Mayon's most severe eruption killed over 1200 people and destroyed
numerous villages.
The volcano climbs 2462 meters above the Albay Gulf, with steep top slopes of 35-40 degrees and a
tiny summit crater.Eruptions have been recorded since 1616, and they range from strombolian to
basaltic plinian, with cyclical activity beginning with basaltic eruptions and ending with long-
term andesitic lava flows. Eruptions primarily originate from the central conduit, but lava flows
have traveled far down the sides. Pyroclastic flows and mudflows have frequently washed down
several of the summit's approximately 40 ravines, wreaking havoc on populous lowland
communities.
