The Taal volcano in the Philippines erupted on Sunday and prompted warnings of a so-called “volcanic tsunami” as numerous villagers were evacuated in the vicinity, according to officials.

A volcanic tsunami might take place in caldera lakes such as Taal Lake when water is displaced due to rising magma, said the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology.
