cosmic rays are everywhere. they can penetrate our bodies and even solid rock. volcanologists use sensors on the sides of volcanoes to moniter the rays that pass through, resulting in a 3-D image of the inside of the volcano. they can use this data to predict just how big a future eruption could potentially be because it also maps out how large the magma chamber is.

hope this helped!
