Pinatubo volcano
Mount Pinatubo is a volcano located in the Philippines that erupted dramatically in June 1991. It was a massive eruption, releasing huge amounts of ash and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. The eruption caused widespread destruction, including ashfall, pyroclastic flows, and the formation of a large caldera. This event significantly affected global climate by temporarily cooling Earth's surface. The eruption also led to the displacement of thousands of residents and the creation of new lakes and landscapes. Today, Pinatubo remains active but is closely monitored, serving as a reminder of the powerful forces beneath the Earth's surface.
