Before an eruption, magma (lava) moves into the area beneath the volcano and collects in the magma chamber. As it comes closer to the surface, the magma releases gases. These events can offer clues about when the eruption will take place. For example, the movement of magma produces small earthquakes and vibrations which can be detected using seismographs. Magma gathering in a chamber causes slight swelling of the volcano's slopes which can be shown using tiltmeters and geodimeters. Gases released near the volcano can be measured with correlation spectrometers for changes in quantity.
To better predict when eruptions will occur
The frequency of volcanic eruptions varies greatly depending on the volcano. Some volcanoes may have multiple eruptions in a day, while others may have much longer periods of inactivity between eruptions. It is not possible to predict the exact number of eruptions that may occur in a 24-hour period for any given volcano.
Well the have equipment that helps them, but they look around volcanos to see if they have any sign of erupting.
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
Because I am imbued with magmatic foresight.
scientists are almost able to predict volcano eruptions because of all the signs we get that we can compare to what has happened before other volcanoes erupted...

No one can predict.Also, there will be volcano eruptions at volcanoes mostly.

Yes, volcanic eruptions affect the volcano. The lava being pushed out and reforming affects the volcano's internal and external structure.
Volcano eruptions happen in many places but they mostly occur in Hawaii.
no
Volcanoes are measured and monitored using various tools and techniques such as seismometers to detect earthquakes, gas sensors to monitor emissions, and satellite imagery to track changes in the volcano's surface. Scientists also study the volcano's history and behavior to predict potential eruptions.
In order to try to predict a volcanic eruption, scientists monitor the distribution of earthquakes near the volcano, the quantity, temperature, and composition of gas emissions, and look for deformation of the volcano itself. All of these can be used to determine if magma is moving underground, how close it is to the surface, and even how obstructed it is.
