Some examples of volcanic activity leading up to an eruption include increased seismic activity, such as small earthquakes or tremors, ground deformation or bulging caused by magma movement, increased gas emissions, such as sulfur dioxide, and the appearance of new fissures or vents on the volcano's surface through which magma can escape. These signs can help scientists monitor and predict volcanic eruptions.
Before an eruption, magma moves into the area beneath the volcano and collects in a magma chamber, or reservoir. As it comes closer to the surface, the magma releases gases. These events can offer valuable clues about the likelihood of an eruption.
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
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are extremely hard to predict because of their irregularity. This is due to the butter fly effect. For example, in California there had been a volcanic eruption every 30 years since the start of their records, so they a few years ago when it was scheduled to happen the government spent millions on "earthquake-proofing" the area. Nothing actually happened. The main way to predict earthquakes and volcanic eruptions is to look for patterns in the past but it is really not an accurate or reliable method. Earthquakes are a lot harder to predict as they can happen at any point down a convergent or conservative plate boundary spontaneously, where as with a volcano you can study it and look for signs such as bulges or changes of gas composition in the area that could indicate when it will erupt. However new methods of detection are being tested, the strangest being the use of some animals, snakes the most common, that behave in peculiar ways just before an earthquake. Breakthroughs like these and the use of new technologies, like GPS to monitor irregularities in the the shape of volcanoes, will make the prediction of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions much easier in the future
The 3 main warning signs that a volcanic eruption is imminent are: Deformation of the surrounding land such as an increase in height. Increased seismic activity (small earthquakes and tremors) Increased production of volcanic gases eg sulphur dioxide Animals may also act nervous or begin to migrate away from the eruption zone
No. They have found there are signs that can give indications that one may happen.

Local earthquakes, Land inflation, Increase of gas emission, eruption of lava.
Scientists can monitor volcano activity and make predictions based on warning signs such as increased seismic activity, gas emissions, and ground deformation. While it is challenging to predict the exact timing of an eruption, advances in monitoring technology have improved the accuracy of forecasts, allowing for timely evacuations and safety measures to be implemented in at-risk areas.

No. Although scientists can monitor signs that a volcano is getting ready to erupt they are nowhere near predicting the day a volcano will erupt. They might not even be able to predict the month or even the year that it will erupt.
No there is no signs of volcanic activity on Jupiter because Jupiter is a gas giant and has no land masses on which to have a volcano on.
i believe if it is not active at all ? i live in Michigan so there's obviously no volcanoes but that's what i learned in school:) um but once again I've never been around a volcano
