Radon gas may or may not be used to predict an earthquake. Scientists in Chile and Italy sometimes find increased levels of radon gas in wells 6-24 hours before an earthquake. The increase is due to tiny escape routes that form during the crustal [or lithospheric or tectonic] plate activities that lead to earthquakes. Specifically, an example of a successful prediction based on radon gas levels is the warning by Gran Sasso laboratory researcher Giampaolo Giuliani of the April 7, 2009 in the region of Abruzzo.

Which gas can be used to predict earthquakes?

Radon is the gas that can [or cannot!] be used to predict earthquakes. Its levels noticeably may rise in basements and wells. That's because of the air and water escape routes that may form in soil 6-24 hours before an earthquake.


Henry's law can be used to determine the solubility of gases because?

Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid. This relationship allows us to predict how much gas will dissolve in a liquid at a specific pressure. At higher pressures, more gas will dissolve in the liquid according to Henry's law.

What is barometer and volumemeter used to measure?

A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure, which can help predict changes in weather conditions. A volumeter is used to measure the volume of a substance, such as a liquid or gas, in a given space or container.


What do we monitor about volcanoes to predict eruptions?

In order to try to predict a volcanic eruption, scientists monitor the distribution of earthquakes near the volcano, the quantity, temperature, and composition of gas emissions, and look for deformation of the volcano itself. All of these can be used to determine if magma is moving underground, how close it is to the surface, and even how obstructed it is.
