What else can I help you with?
What instrument measures earthquakes that may precede a volcanic eruption?
A seismograph.
Can earthquakes occur when a volcano erupts?
Yes. In fact, earthquakes and tremors usually precede the eruption of a volcano and are caused by the volcanic activity and pressure building up beneath the ground.
What may precede a volcanic eruption?
Earthtremors.
When does a volcano eruption begin?
A volcanic eruption starts with the build up of pressure in the magma chamber. A bulge in the crater may indicate a impending eruption. Earthquakes may also precede an eruption.
How meteorologists forecast earthquakes?
Seismologists not meteorologists study earthquakes. Generally earthquakes can be predicted by measuring fore-quakes which often precede larger earthquakes.
Do earthquakes cause volcanoes to explode?
In most cases, no. However, there is evidence that, on a few occasions, earthquakes appear to have triggered eruptions, most likely by disturbing the magma chamber beneath the volcano. Earthquakes often precede a volcanic eruption, be these are not the cause of the eruption, but are rather a result of the movement of magma that leads to an eruption.
What are some events that may precede earthquakes?
Events that may precede earthquakes include foreshocks, ground deformation, changes in groundwater levels, unusual animal behavior, and unusual weather patterns. However, predicting earthquakes with certainty remains a significant challenge for scientists.
Major earthquake are sometime preceded by smaller earthquakes - true or false?
True! The small magnitude earthquakes that sometimes precede a major earthquake are known as fore shocks.
Why do earthquakes frequently preceede volcanic eruptions.?
Before a volcanic eruption can happen, magma has to migrate form depth into the volcano's magma chamber. This movement of magma inflates the ground round the volcano, and provided the energy to initiate earth movements which cause a swarm of earthquakes.
What part of speech is precede?
Precede is a verb.
What is a Homophone for precede?
There is no homophone for the word precede.
Is precede an adjective?
No, precede is a verb.
