No. Although scientists can monitor signs that a volcano is getting ready to erupt they are nowhere near predicting the day a volcano will erupt. They might not even be able to predict the month or even the year that it will erupt.

What year did the volcano in Santorini erupt causing a tsunami over Crete?

The exact year of the eruption is not known. Estimates vary between 1540 and 1642 BC.


How do you know when a volcano is about to erupt?

Volcanoes erupt because of the plates under the Earth's Mantle crash into one another, which causes an earthquake, which also causes eruptions. Yes, it is possible to determine whether a volcano will erupt or not. It is notpossible, however to determine when to any degree of accuracy! There are many signs that, when interpreted correctly can make a convincing indication of a coming eruption. The people who study volcanos (Geologists & Siesmologists) have lots of ways of attempting to predict an eruption, however, the science is still in a "Best-guess" state, and any prediction can be proven wrong either way. This is why there is no "early warning" systems for volcanos. Animal behaviour patterns are increasingly monitored around active volcanos these days; it's been observed that many species have instinctive ways of knowing when an eruption will occur.


When will mount saint helens erupt?

Predicting volcanic eruptions although part of the science of volcanology is the most difficult thing to successfully accomplish. The times between eruptions of volcanoes varies, and does not follow an exact pattern or time frame between eruptions. The only way that scientists have an idea of when a volcano will next erupt is when the volcano starts showing signs of unrest, and than it still depends heavily on what types of unrest the scientists are witnessing.

Could observations of a dormant volcano provide information avout the liklihood of a future eruption?

Yes, observations of a dormant volcano can provide valuable information about the likelihood of a future eruption. Monitoring parameters such as ground deformation, gas emissions, seismic activity, and changes in volcanic hydrothermal systems can help determine if a volcano is becoming more active and potentially nearing an eruption. However, it is important to note that accurately predicting the exact timing and magnitude of an eruption is still very challenging.

How may times does a volcano erupt in it's life?

It depends on the location and when it first erupted and how bad that eruption was. If it was really bad then it might not erupt for hundreds of years later that's just how it is. Some scientist don't know and that's the truth so there isn't an exact answer to that question.

When is Yellowstone supposed to erupt?

Scientists do not know when. Contrary to popular belief the volcano does not erupt at regular intervals. Scientists have not monitored the volcano for long enough to get a good idea of its general behavior. However, it is highly unlikely that it will erupt in our lifetimes.


Why i for current?

Because its exact name is "current intensity". The letter "i" comes from intensity.
