What observations can constrain
Volcanologists combine erupted materials with monitoring, mapping, and physical interpretation to constrain processes and possible storage conditions.
The transparent forms beneath the model explain how scientists reason about magma storage, conduits, dikes, and hydrothermal systems. They are not directly imaged chamber walls or a statement about present activity.

Shapes, exact positions, connections, and dimensions beneath the surface are model choices for explanation. They are not a surveyed underground map.
Say whether a claim is a direct observation, an interpretation supported by several observations, or a visual illustration made for teaching.
A useful explainer makes its confidence visible. The Mayon interior therefore uses restrained, transparent forms and labels them as inferred. It should never be used to infer current magma movement, predict an eruption, or make a safety decision.
The interior explainer draws context from the 2021 Bulletin of Volcanology paper on petrological constraints at Mayon. Its specific role and the model limits are recorded in the source registry and methodology.
