Mount Pinatubo erupted for twelve days in 1991. The first eruption was on June 3 and the climactic eruption took place on June 15.
Sunday 16th June 1991 was the day that Mount Pinatubo erupted.
Mount Pinatubo erupts on an irregular basis, about every 3,000 to 5,000 years. The last big eruption began in 1991.It typically will erupt multiple times during an eruption period before going dormant again.
it has currently had about 48 to 50 eruptions. however it has also been a dormant for 600 yrs.
Mount Pinatubo had LATERAL eruption. It means, generally volcano erupts at its highest peak where its vent finds an opening, but mount Pinatubo got a weak side and therefore it erupted laterally.
Not in recorded history, but it had erupted before, otherwise there would be no Mount Pinatubo. Its last eruption before 1991 was about 600 years ago.
The most recent eruption of Mount Pinatubo produce ash and pumice.
Mount Pinatubo is a stratovolcano or composite volcano. The last eruption happened in 1993
It's last eruption was in 1991 so it has been dormant ('asleep') for 20 years.

Pinatubo became active in the early 1990s, with a significant eruption in June 1991. Prior to this, it had been dormant for around 500 years.
Mt. Pinatubo is known to have explosive eruptions. The violence of an eruption is influenced by the amount of dissolved gas in the magma, the viscosity of the magma, and the presence of water or other fluids. If the magma has high gas content, is highly viscous, and interacts with water, it can lead to a more violent eruption.
Mt. Pinatubo is 1.6 miles wide. The last eruption took place on June 15, 1991. The volcano is located in the Philippines.
