Volcanologists use many different kinds of tools including instruments that detect and record earthquakes (seismometers and seismographs) instruments that measure ground deformation (EDM, Leveling, GPS, tilt),instruments that detect and measure volcanic gases (COSPEC),instruments that determine how much lava is moving underground (VLF, EM-31), video and still cameras, infrared cameras and cameras that work remotely. This is by no means a complete list, volcanologists will use whatever tool they can to help them understand volcanoes.

How can scientists measure the ground around a volcano before an eruption?
sensors and thermal images
What instrument would you use to measure the amount of sulfur dioxide coming out of a volcano?
correlation spectrometer
Picture of instruments use to measure the size of volcano?
show the pic of measuring balance of mass
Is the heat of a volcano used to measure the Richer Scale?
No, nothing is used to measure the Richter scale. The Richter scale is used to measure the intensity of earthquakes.The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) is used to provide a relative measure of the explosiveness of volcanic eruptions.
If you had to measure the amount of sulfur dioxide coming out of a volcano what instrument would you use?
You would use a correlation spectrometer.
How do you measure volcano eruptions?
with tools
What is the responding or dependent variable in volcano experiment?
You measure the amount of baking soda put in he volcano
What would you use to measure the magnitude of an volcano?
Volcanic Explosivity Index
What type of scale is used to measure a volcano?
Volcanoes are measured on the volcano explosivity index. See the link below for more information.

Is the Serengeti volcano the largest in the world?
Not by a long way.The caldera of Ngorongoro (the largest volcano near the serengeti) is huge, at 250km2, but that is nothing compared to Yellowstone, with a caldera of about 4000km2.however calderas don't look much like volcanos.Hawaii is perhaps the largest mountainous volcano, if you measure its height from the sea bed.
Is arenal volcano a composite volcano or a cindercone volcano?
The arenal volcano is a cindercone volcano not a composite.
What kind of volcano is the veniaminof volcano?
A Strato volcano or a composite volcano.
