What is the term called when you already know the answer to a question?
Do you mean asking a Rhetorical question? A rhetorical question is when you ask the audience or person a question you don't want an answer to. When you ask a question you already know the answer to, it's called a Known Answer Question. The original question is ambiguous. A rhetorical question tho' is a statement that is formulated as a question but is not supposed to be answered. A subtle difference that can make all the difference. Spot on "KAQ" tho.

"Begging the question". It mean that you already have to assume that the presumptions in the question are correct. For example.

A lot of people use this term incorrectly as a literary term for containing the answer in the question.

Your use of the term "volcanic area" and the negative in which you ask the question "we cant get" means that it is impossible to answer your question. The first term makes it too vague and the second makes it impossible to know what you are wanting to know.
