Will mount mayon erupt again?

Yes it will in about a year or so. Scientists are still trying to find out the exact date for when it will erupt (last answer.) Scientists do not know what will happen between Mauna Loa and Kilauea. After an earthquake in 1984, eruptive activity stopped at Mauna Loa completely. Many think that the magma chamber changed during the quake and the energy was sent to Kilauea. Of course, Mauna Loa will erupt again, that is for sure. I doubt it will cease activity so close to it's extremely active neighbor. Tremors are found daily at Mauna Loa. Oh, and one more thing; Mount Mauna Loa is not it's proper title; Mauna means Mountain in Hawaiian :-)
