A seismometer to measure for earthquakes, and a laser micrometer to see if the volcano has gotten bigger (they do that sometimes before they erupt), and a infrared thermometer to check for changes in temperature. These are all used to GUESS or ESTIMATE when a volcano is going to erupt, but there is no actual way (as of yet) to tell for sure.

Why do geologists think that seamounts are extinct volcanoes?
beacuse the seamounts were once formed as volcanoes
Geologists use a to investigate rocks and minerals?
complicated sort of tools like nails and hammers and saws and things of which i dont no of
What tools do scientists use to prevent volcanoes to erupt?
scientist can't do anything to stop volcanoes from erupting. is a natural disaster, the only thing they can do is try to predict the next time of eruption.

Why do geologists use rocks?
Geologists don't use rocks, they study them.
Volcanologists and seismologists are specialized?
Volcanologists are geologists who primarily study the way that volcanoes form and erupt, as well as the eruptions of present and past volcanoes. Seismologists are scientists, usually geophysicists, study earthquakes in terms of the elastic waves that they push through the earth.
