Nevertheless, as the first premier of post-communist Poland, Tadeusz Mazowiecki, put it twenty years later, on June 4, 2009, he wished western leaders would acknowledge the fact that the Berlin Wall would not have fallen if the the Poles had not defeated their communists on June 4 of 1989.
Mayon is a classic stratovolcano with a small central summit crater. The cone is considered the world's most perfectly formed volcano for its symmetry, which was formed through layers of lava flows and pyroclastic surges from past eruptions and erosion. The upper slopes of the basaltic-andesitic stratovolcano are steep, averaging 35â40 degrees.
The most destructive eruption of Mayon occurred on February 1, 1814 (VEI =4). Lava flowed but not as much compared to the 1766 eruption; Instead, the volcano was belching dark ash and eventually bombarded the town of Cagsawa with tephra that buried it.Trees were burned; rivers were certainly damaged.ike other volcanoes located around the Pacific Ocean, Mayon is a part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. It is located on the eastern side of Luzon, near the Philippine Trench which is the convergent boundary where the Philippine Sea Plate is driven under the Philippine Mobile Belt.
