What are two factors scientists monitor that could indicate a volcano might erupt?
Two factors scientists monitor that could indicate a volcano might erupt are seismic activity (earthquakes) and changes in gas emissions (such as increased sulfur dioxide levels). These changes could signal magma movement beneath the surface and potential volcanic activity.
Is the pompeii volcano going to erupt again?
It is possible for Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that buried Pompeii, to erupt again as it is an active volcano. However, there is currently no imminent threat of an eruption. Scientists monitor the volcano closely to detect any signs of increased activity that could indicate a potential eruption.
How can scientists measure the ground around a volcano before an eruption?
Scientists can measure the ground around a volcano using techniques such as GPS monitoring to detect ground deformation caused by magma movement, seismometers to track seismic activity related to magma movement, and gas sensors to monitor changes in gas emissions that can indicate increasing volcanic activity. These tools help scientists to assess the volcano's behavior and potential for eruption.
What are two factors scientists monitor that indicate a volcano might erupt?
Well in my Holt Science and Technology textbook it says: They study the gases coming from active volcanoes and look for slight changes in the volicano's shape that could indicate than an eruption is near. If this is your directed reading homework. Next time try looking up the answers! all though sometimes i'm lazy too and don't feel like looking it up. Good Luck!
Can you predict the exact day when a current volcano will erupt?
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.

What do gps sensors do for volcanoes?
In terms of volcano monitoring the GPS monitoring sites that can be places anywhere on the volcano are used to monitor specific movements of the mountain. The movements of a volcano can indicate many things about what is going on inside the volcano, for example if two GPS units on opposide sides of the volcano are moving further apart it would indicate the volcano is expanding. This could possibly be an indication of magma forcing its way up into the volcano and can also indicate a potential eruption in the future.

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.
What three variables do scientists monitor when attempting to forecast volcanic eruptions?
Scientists monitor volcanic earthquakes, ground deformation, and gas emissions when attempting to forecast volcanic eruptions. Changes in these variables can provide critical information about the state of a volcano and help predict the likelihood of an eruption.
A tiltmeter is a volcanic monitoring tool that measures?
The tiltmeter measures changes in the slope of the ground, which can indicate pressure changes beneath the surface of a volcano. By tracking these changes, scientists can monitor volcanic activity and potentially predict eruptions.
When do scientists predict mount vesuvius will erupt again?
Scientists cannot predict with certainty when Mount Vesuvius will erupt again. However, the volcano is considered active, and monitoring systems are in place to detect any signs of increased volcanic activity that could indicate an impending eruption.
What do we monitor about volcanoes to predict 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.
What do you use to monitor a volcano?
your eyes
How can scientists deactivate or stop a volcano?
Scientists cannot deactivate or stop a volcano. However, they can monitor volcanic activity, provide early warnings to at-risk populations, and mitigate the impact of eruptions through evacuation and emergency response plans. Ultimately, volcanic activity is a natural process that cannot be prevented.
