People can predict if a volcano will erupt but not when it will erupt.
scientists wil know when with their good machines
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.
yes mount surtsey can erupt again, according to scientists this volcano will erupt again in the future , scientists predict 98% this eruption will be allot worse creating lots of Disasters with weather .
It is impossible to predict when a volcano will next erupt.
Humans can not predict exactly when or where a volcano will erupt. Instead, scientists deal with probabilities. They deal within time frames and approximations. With volcanoes scientists use seismographs and tilt meters. When magma starts rising and earthquakes start happening, scientists start considering the probability of a volcano. At a certain point they start warning people to leave an area. Sometimes they wait too late and the volcano erupts before the scientists thought it would erupt. Sometimes the scientists thought the volcano would erupt and it calms down. Still, they frequently get it right.

It is important for scientists to study the eruption patterns of volcanoes so that if the volcano is very active, they might be able to predict far ahead of time when the volcano is going to erupt.
there is no way to predict a volcano's eruption times and the closest people could woudl be scientists and they can't predict it yet.
They can't, volcanoes can erupt at any time
Yes and no. Humans have been able to link certain signs and events to volcano's and we are able to predict that a volcano will erupt but not to a specific date, we can only say that in 1 - 100000 ( 100000 years being the limit of our prediction abilities) years this volcano "could" erupt.
There is just about always a volcano erupting somewhere in the world. It is impossible to predict exactly when a given volcano will erupt, especially since many are not closely monitored.
Scientists study Volcanoes so, they can predict when they will erupt.
large amounts of activity and belive it or not u can predict where a volcano will erupt by looking for where plants are growing best because of the release of carbon
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.

Scientists haven't found a sure fire way to detect when exactly a volcano will erupt but one sign of such an occurance would be increased seismic activity around the volcano.
It is impossible to predict when or where the next major volcanic eruption will occur.
scientists are almost able to predict volcano eruptions because of all the signs we get that we can compare to what has happened before other volcanoes erupted...
There is no way to predict an eruption. Volcanos are watched and many have instruments on them to measure movement and activity.
