How can scientists stop a volcano from erupting?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

People have worked out some ways to stop volcanoes erupting. In 1919 Americans exploded dynamite in a Mexican volcano and released the pressure that was building in it. In 1943, American planes dropped two bombs in the crater of the volcano at Vesuvius in Italy and stopped it in its tracks.

Most volcanoes are, however, unstoppable. An eruption can last from a few seconds to a year, even centuries. An eruption will stop naturally as soon as there is no more molten rock, when there is not enough gases in the magma, or when the chimney is plugged with cooled lava. Human intervention is costly and is usually only attempted when many human lives would be lost if nothing was done.
It is impossible to stop a volcanic eruption. All you can do is monitor volcanic activity and issue warnings.

Answer 3

Currently, there is no technology that can prevent a volcano from erupting. Scientists can monitor volcanoes closely to predict eruptions and mitigate their impact by evacuating people from at-risk areas and providing early warning systems. Research is ongoing to develop new methods for mitigating volcanic eruptions, but no foolproof solution exists yet.

Answer 4

you cant actually prevent volcanic eruptions but you can try but you just can not

Answer 5

No. There is no way to prevent volcanic eruptions.

Answer 6

No. Nor can we accurately predict an eruption

Answer 7

NO
