1. Hot water
2. Steam
3. Turbine – Generator
4. Cooling Tower
5. Injection well
B. Signs of impending volcanic eruption (7-10)
 Increase in the frequency of volcanic quakes with rumbling
sounds; occurrence of volcanic tremors
 Increased steaming activity; change in color of steam emission
from white to gray due to entrained strash
 Crater glow due to presence of magma at or near the crater
 Ground swells (or inflation, ground tilt and ground fissuring due
to magma intrusion
 Localize landslides, rockfall and landslides from the summit area
which not attributable to heavy rains
 Noticeable increase in the extent of drying up vegetation
around the volcano’s upper slopes
 Increase in the temperature of hot springs, wells, and crater
lake
 Noticeable variation in the chemical content of the springs,
crater lakes within the vicinity of the volcano
 Drying up of springs/wells around the volcano; and,
 Development of new thermal areas and/or reactivation of old
ones; appearance of solfataras.
