What do the Philippine volcanoes look like?

The Philippines, located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, is one of the most volcanically active countries in this area. Because the Eurasian Plate and the Pacific Plate are constantly pushing together, volcanoes, hot springs and earthquakes are common in the Philippines. More than 50 volcanoes are scattered among the 7,107 islands in the Philippines. The fundamental reason for the formation of these volcanoes is the movement of crustal plates. Volcanoes form on the surrounding land edges when continental plates and ocean floor plates at the edge of the Pacific rub against each other. Famous volcanoes in the Philippines include Mount Apo, Mayon Volcano and Taal Volcano.

Apo Volcano is the highest peak in the Philippines and is known as the "King of Volcanoes". It is located about 40 kilometers southwest of Davao City, Mindanao Island, with an altitude of about 2954 meters. It still often smokes. It is a Typical active volcano. On the southern slope of the mountain is the legendary Tudaya Waterfall, which cascades down from an alcove. Tudaya Waterfall is quite unique. Sometimes it gurgls and sometimes it sounds like a golden drum. The Philippine government built a park around Mount Apo called Apo Park. The park covers an area of ??about 800 square kilometers. There are hot springs, sulfur mines and many rare animals in the park.

The Mayon Volcano is located in the southeastern part of Luzon Island, belonging to the Albay Province, about 340 kilometers southeast of the capital Manila.

Mayon Volcano is an active volcano, known as the "most perfect cone" and the most complete volcano in the world. It can be compared with Mount Fuji in Japan and is a famous tourist attraction in the Philippines. The gentle slopes of Mayon Volcano are well-proportioned and harmonious, and its cone-shaped appearance is even more perfect than Japan's Mount Fuji. It is a perfect volcanic cone. Steam escapes from the vent all year round, often condensing into white clouds that wrap around the top of the mountain. At night, the smoke it emits is dark red, and the entire volcano looks like a triangular candlestick, standing and shining in the night sky.

Taal Volcano is also called the Mother and Child Volcano. Taal Volcano is located on Luzon Island in the Philippines. The crater on the top of the mountain is 25 kilometers long, 15 kilometers wide, and covers an area of ??about 300 square kilometers. It is world-famous as "the smallest volcano in the world." Due to the accumulation of water in the crater for many years, a crater lake was finally formed, which is called Taal Lake. Taal Volcano is a very peculiar volcano. In its crater lake, there is actually a small volcano, just like a lively and cute little kangaroo in the mother kangaroo's pouch. Therefore, Taal Volcano and its "loved child" together constitute the mother-child volcano. Taal Volcano has mountains within mountains and lakes within lakes, making it a miracle of nature.

Looking at Taal Volcano from a distance, there is always a layer of mist that makes it difficult to see clearly what the small volcanic lake on the top of the mountain looks like. But as long as you reach the top, anyone will be fascinated by the spectacular scenery in front of you: the entire volcanic lake is like a big well, about 100 meters from the peak to the lake surface. The water in the lake is calm and calm like a mirror. Looking at this calm lake, it is difficult to imagine the infinite passion hidden deep below. Perhaps it is gathering strength, waiting for the next eruption.
