What is the device used to predict volcanoes?

Volcanoes eruptions cannot be predicted; some sign are perhaps an increasing seismic activity, increased release of volcanic gases, increased temperature.


How are satellite images used to predict volcanic eruption?

Satellites are used to monitor the changes in the shape of the mountains. Specifically this is done rather often on the big island of Hawaii to make sure that none of the two dormant volcanoes (Mauna Loa and Hualalai) are changing shape which would indicate magma movement into the upper Plumbing of the volcanoes. Often times the same type of radar imagery is used to reconstruct the changes throughout a volcanic eruption, this radar imagery service is also used on the Yellowstone Super Caldera. Examples of how this has been used can be seen on both the Hawaii Volcanoes Observatory website and Yellowstone Volcano Observatory website. (See related links).

Can a satellite predict a thunderstorm?

Satellites collect and send raw data to ground stations for computers to process and use complex computer models to predict future weather patterns.


What do we monitor about volcanoes to predict eruptions?

In order to try to predict a volcanic eruption, scientists monitor the distribution of earthquakes near the volcano, the quantity, temperature, and composition of gas emissions, and look for deformation of the volcano itself. All of these can be used to determine if magma is moving underground, how close it is to the surface, and even how obstructed it is.
