Mosses and algae
In an area that recently experienced a volcanic eruption, you would likely see pioneer species such as lichens and bacteria that can quickly establish themselves on the barren landscape. Over time, as the environment becomes more hospitable, you may see plant species like grasses and ferns colonizing the area. Depending on the severity of the eruption, larger animals may take longer to return to the area.
The student can expect to find volcanic ash, pumice stone, and lava flows in the area around the recently erupted volcano. These samples can provide valuable insights into the composition and nature of the volcanic activity.
It is currently not known when Popocatepetl will erupt again. It's most recent eruption was on July 4th 2013. It is generally very hard to know when a volcano will erupt though scientists are finding ways to know when to expect one.
During a nonexplosive eruption, you can expect to see a steady flow of lava mainly from fissures or vents on the volcano. This type of eruption typically causes slow-moving lava flows, rather than dramatic explosions. Ash and gas emissions may still occur but are usually not as intense as in explosive eruptions.
Yes, inflation of a volcano like Mt Rainier can occur as magma rises and accumulates beneath the surface, pressurizing the volcano. This swelling could be monitored using techniques like GPS and tiltmeter measurements to provide warning signs of a potential eruption.

What you would expect after an explosive eruption is darkened skies. You should also expect warmer temperatures.

An andesite rock. it came out of the volcanic eruption of Mt. St. Helens...
You can expect a shield volcano to form. Shield volcanoes are characterized by their low, broad profile and gentle slopes, which are formed by the eruption of fluid lava like the one you described. Over time, repeated eruptions of lava will build up the shield volcano.
extrusive ingeneous rocks
Dormant volcano
A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot magma, volcanic ash and gases to escape from below the surface. So expect explosions and a lot of noise.
Complex Eruption???
