Seismic activity
Lahars
Auditory observations
Refers to surface changes on a volcano, such as subsidence (sinking), tilting, or bulge formation, due to the movement of magma below the surface.

Auditory observations
Feel (Tactile)
Are stream-like flows of incandescent molten rock erupted from a crater or fissure.
lava flow
Ashfall or tephra fall
Pyroclastic flows
Are showers of airborne fine- to coarse-grained volcanic particles that fallout from the plumes of a volcanic eruption.
lava flow
Ashfall or tephra fall
Pyroclastic flows
Are turbulent masses of ejected fragmented volcanic materials (ash and rocks), mixed with hot gasses (200°C to 700°C to as hot as 900°C) that flow downslope at very high speeds (>60kph).
lava flow
Ashfall or tephra fall
Pyroclastic flows
Are rapidly flowing thick mixture of volcanic sediments (from the pyroclastic materials) and water, usually triggered by intense rainfall during typhoons, monsoons, and thunderstorms.
lahars
Ashfall or tephra fall
Pyroclastic flows
Are volcanic materials directly ejected from the volcano’s vent with force and trajectory.
lahars
Ballistic projectiles
Pyroclastic flows
Are gasses and aerosols released into the atmosphere, which include water vapor, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride.
lahars
Volcanic gasses
Pyroclastic flows
Massive collapse of a volcano, usually triggered by an earthquake or volcanic eruption

Taal
Pinatubo
Also known as a landslip.
lahars
Debris avalanche
Rainfall-induced Landslide
Occur due to erosion or underground water. They start developing a long time before it actually appears.
