Mount Pinatubo

Mount Pinatubo is an active volcano located in the Philippines. It erupted dramatically in June 1991, one of the largest volcanic eruptions of the 20th century. This eruption released massive amounts of ash and gases into the atmosphere, affecting weather patterns globally and cooling the Earth's surface. The eruption caused significant damage to nearby communities and led to a successful evacuation of thousands of residents, highlighting the importance of emergency preparedness. The volcanic activity also created a large caldera and offered insights into volcanic processes, making it a crucial site for scientific research.
