    Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted cataclysmically in June 1991, releasing the second largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century. The eruption was preceded by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in 1990 that triggered landslides and increased volcanic activity at Pinatubo. In early 1991, the volcano experienced small earthquakes and steam explosions that emitted sulfur dioxide, a sign that a major eruption was imminent. On June 15, 1991, Pinatubo erupted in a powerful explosion, impacting the densely populated surrounding areas.

    The Cataclysmic 1991 Eruption of Mount

    SUBMITTED BY: ARTHEA LORIN T. DOBLADA


    Pinatubo, Philippines

    pina
    The second-biggest volcanic eruption of this
    century and by far the largest eruption to have

    t
    impacted a densely populated area was Mount
    Pinatubo's catastrophic explosion on June 15,
    1991, in the Philippines.

    On July 16, 1990, a 7.8


    magnitude earthquake struck
    near Mount Pinatubo in the
    m

    Philippines, shaking
    Earth's crust beneath the
    volcano. The earthquake
    caused landslides, local
    earthquakes, and increased
    steam emissions.

    In March and April 1991, molten


    rock triggered small earthquakes
    and powerful steam explosions,
    causing thousands of small
    earthquakes and sulfur dioxide gas
    emissions.
