Lake Tikub is circular landlocked crater lake with an area of 48.34 hectares nestled at the foot of Mt. Malepunyo which is shared and bordered by Barangay Ayusan I and San Pedro in Tiaong, Quezon, Philippines. Lake Tikub is a maar or a low-profile volcano (extinct volcano) created by phreatomagmatic eruption or the interaction between groundwater and magma underneath the Earth’s surface. Like the seven lakes in the city of San Pablo, Laguna, which is about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) away, the lake is one of the monogenetic volcanoes located in the Southwestern Luzon Volcanic field
Surface elevation: 97 m
Length: 820 m
Width: 730 m
Basin country: Philippines
NOTE:
Phreatomagmatic eruptions are volcanic eruptions driven by the direct interaction between magma and external bodies of water such as the sea, lakes or groundwater. They differ from magmatic eruptions which are driven by volatiles dissolved within magma, and phreatic eruptions in which involve indirect interaction (i.e. heat transfer) between magma and water.
