Scientists can Predict eruptions to an extent. Once a volcano shows signs of unrest an elevated alert code can be given although a volcano can go quiet again with no warning. So although they can give a prediction of possible activity time and scale are not always certain

∙ 8y agoPeople have worked out some ways to stop volcanoes erupting. In 1919 Americans exploded dynamite in a Mexican volcano and released the pressure that was building in it. In 1943, American planes dropped two bombs in the crater of the volcano at Vesuvius in Italy and stopped it in its tracks.
Most volcanoes are, however, unstoppable. An eruption can last from a few seconds to a year, even centuries. An eruption will stop naturally as soon as there is no more molten rock, when there is not enough gases in the magma, or when the chimney is plugged with cooled lava. Human intervention is costly and is usually only attempted when many human lives would be lost if nothing was done.
It is impossible to stop a volcanic eruption. All you can do is monitor volcanic activity and issue warnings.

No. We cannot stop a volcano from erupting. The chances of the Yellowstone volcano erupting any time soon are negligible.

What can't you do when a volcano is erupting?
When a volcano is erupting, it is generally not safe to be near or approach the volcano. It is advised to avoid the area and not attempt to see the eruption up close. Additionally, flying or operating aircraft near an erupting volcano can pose significant risks due to the ash plume and potential disruption to air traffic.
Why dont scientists know when the volcano in iceland will stop erupting?
The reason scientists can't tell when it will stop erupting is because they can't tell how much molten lava is under the volcano. Even if the volcano doesn't stop erupting, flights within Europe may be resumed, the reason we're getting all this ash is because the molten lava hits the iceberg on top of the volcano and the sudden change in temperature and pressure gives off masses of fine ash.
