Eruptions
Babuyan Claro has erupted on four occasions in historical times: in 1831, 1860, 1913 and 1917. All eruptions were either strombolian or phreatomagmatic.
In July 1993, there were reports of earthquakes and an alleged drying up of vegetation at the upper slopes and summit area of the volcano but volcanologists said the earthquakes were of tectonic origins and there was no significant change in the volcanic activity.
In February 2004, there were reports of grayish steam clouds hovering above the summit but volcanologists from the Philippines Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said the seismic swarm was of tectonic origin and the steaming activity was only wispy to weak.
Babuyan Claro is one of the Active volcanos in the Philippines and is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Famous quotes containing the word eruptions:
“All great movements are popular movements. They are the volcanic eruptions of human passions and emotions, stirred into activity by the ruthless Goddess of Distress or by the torch of the spoken word cast into the midst of the people.”
