HOW WAS IT
FORMED?
Batanes was
formed when
Mt. Iraya
erupted in
1454.
During this eruption, Mt. Iraya
Volcano spewed volcanic ash
through the air.
After eruption, the lava or
molten rock hardened and a
thick layer of lava rock was
Ash also fell on the hardened
lava, forming a layer of ash.
When it rained, the ash layer
mixed with the water,
forming black colored water.
Batanes experiences winter,
causing the black water to
freeze and the lava rock to
crumble and erode into a hill.
Continuous weathering and erosion
made the Alapad Hill and Rock
Formation to be what it is today.
