Before a volcano erupts, there may be high frequency and low frequency earthquakes, changes in shape or size of the volcano, and tremors.
well, if there's water by, then the water would boil .
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.
active
Yes they can, but only after extereme signs of disaster they can erupt after years of inactivity. One of these disasters are small tremors in the ground. So in conclusion, yes they can :)
It is hard to distinguish between a dormant and extinct volcano, but it will be considered dormant if it has not showed signs of eruption over several spans of its recharge period. For example, a volcano that has been known to erupt every twenty years might be considered dormant if it goes sixty years without erupting. Signs that a volcano might be dormant and is not nearing an eruption include: -Does not produce smoke or sulfuric smell from vents or crater -Lava cannot be viewed in or near the volcano, or can only be found very deep inside the crater -No tremors or small earthquakes have been detected in the area around the volcano for a long period of time -Small plants and trees have grown naturally on the cone. (More plant life than moss or lichen)
Volcanoes don't approach. You might be thinking of a tornado.

An "active" volcano.

active- or live volcano is one that is erupting or has shown signs that it may erupt in the near future dormant- volcano to awaken in the future and become active extinct- or dead volcano is unlikely to erupt again
You're probably thinking of the second, much larger volcano in Iceland that began showing signs that it may be about to erupt after the start of the Eyjafjallajökull eruption. That volcano is named Katla.

There is an increase in seismic activity (mini-quakes, vibrations, rumblings), and more smoke and lava spray showing above the crater.
Mt Ruapehu is not dormant but is an 'active' volcano. It last showed 'signs of unrest' in July 2008 (as of April 2009).
