My Journey in Mount Pinatubo

Posted by Gemma at 5:21 AM



hi.. to all i would like to share my experience when i was trying to visit mount Pinatubo.This mountain has a very unique form ,i have attached the pictures so that you can see the view's of its wonderful surrounding around of it.i was so happy during that time to see the famous mount Pinatubo i cant believed that this mountain has a very nice shape that I've ever seen.You can see in the picture...but before anything else i would also include the history so that you can have a little idea about this mount Pinatubo.This Pinatubo is part of a chain of volcanoes which lie along the western side of the edge of the island of Luzon. They are subduction volcanoes, formed by the Philippine Mobile Belt sliding over the Eurasian Plate along the Manila Trench to the west.[8] Mount Pinatubo and the other volcanoes of the West Luzon volcanic arc arise due to magma occlusion from this subduction plate boundary.

The volcano is located 87 km (55 miles) northwest of Manila, 14 km (9 miles) west of the former Clark Air Base, and 37 km (23 mi) north of the former U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay [4]. Clark Air Base's residential areas and petroleum storage facilities were in much closer proximity to the volcano than the airfield complex and neighboring Angeles City.

The word 'Pinatubo' means 'to have made grow' in Tagalog and Samba l,People called Pinatubo because its growing ..friends.did you visit already the mount Pinatubo? but if not just visit there and experience the pleasure by looking around....You can see the picture i have attached so that you can imagine how wonderful if you'll be there...thanks and enjoy ....
