Geography
[edit | edit source]Panay is located south of Taal Lake, in the province of Batangas, Philippines.
It is located at the southern end of the Calumpang Peninsula, which forms the western side of Batangas Bay, at latitude 13.723°N (13°43'24"N), longitude 120.893°E (120°53'36"E).
Physical features
[edit | edit source]Panay is a forested, low, andesitic stratovolcano, on the western side of Batangas Bay, which could be a breached caldera inundated by the sea.
Panay has an elevation of 501 metres (1,644 feet) asl.
Panay is reported to be strongly solfataric at present.
Eruptions
[edit | edit source]Last eruptive activity is thought to be Pleistocene, about 500,000 years ago.[2]
There have been no historical eruptions.
Geology
[edit | edit source]Rock type is predominantly andesite.
Tectonically, Panay lies at the intersection of two major regional trends, the Bataan Lineament and the Palawan-Macolod Lineament.
Batangas Bay, which includes Panay, may be a drowned caldera.
