PHIVOLCS Classification of Volcanoes
Active
Potentially active
Inactive
Active volcano
If it has had eruptions in historic times, has oral folkloric history of eruptions, shows seismic activity, or has volcanic deposits less than 10,000 years old
Inactive volcano
If it has no record of eruptions and its form has been changed by weathering and erosion with the formation of deep gullies
Potentially active volcano
If it is geologically young-looking, suggesting it possibly erupted in less than 10,000 years, and has very little vegetation cover
Seismic hazard
A hazard related to probable earthquakes in a particular area, normally shown in seismic hazard maps
The Philippines has around 300 named and unnamed volcanoes all over the archipelago due to its tectonic setting
