Taal Volcano (IPA:; Tagalog: Bulkang Taal) is a large caldera filled by Taal Lake in the Philippines. [1] Located in the province of Batangas about 50 kilometers (31 mi) south of Manila, the volcano is the second most active volcano in the country with 38 recorded historical eruptions, all of which were concentrated on Volcano Island, near the middle of Taal Lake.

The Tagaytay Ridge, also known as the Tagaytay Range, is a 32-kilometer (20 mi) mountain range located at the southern part of the province of Cavite, Philippines, with elevations averaging about 600 m (2,000 ft) above sea level.
Mount Batulao is an inactive stratovolcano in the Calabarzon region of the Philippines, located in northwest Batangas province along its border with Cavite. [1] [3] It is a dissected andesitic stratovolcano at the northwestern rim of the Taal Caldera which began to form in the late Pliocene period, about 3.4 million years ago. [4]
The Philippines' Taal Volcano near the capital region has erupted, spewing a plume of steam that was more than 2 km (1.24 miles) high, the seismology agency said on Wednesday. Taal, located about ...
The lake fills Taal Volcano, a large volcanic caldera formed by very large eruptions between 500,000 and 100,000 years ago. It is the country's third-largest lake, after Laguna de Bay and Lake Lanao. Volcano Island, the location of Taal Volcano's historical eruptions and responsible for the lake's sulfuric content, lies near the center of the lake.
The corridor is home to several active volcanoes, including Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines. [2] The tectonic setting of the Macolod Corridor is complex and not fully understood. Several models have been proposed to explain its formation, but no single model is universally accepted.
Based on studies on Taal, it is believed that an ancient Taal Cone was formed by buildup of large volume dacitic pyroclastic materials more than 140,000 years ago. Several major catastrophic eruptions probably between 27,000 and 5,000 years ago destroyed this greater Taal Cone and ultimately formed the 25-by-30-kilometre (16 mi × 19 mi) wide depression now known as Taal Caldera.
