Tiltmeters
Similar to spirit levels, tiltmeters are positioned on and around a volcano. A small container of liquid shows how much the ground moves. The tiltmeters are connected to computers that monitor ongoing changes in the landscape. Changes in the landscape and deformations at ground level are often predictors of volcanic activity. Magma movements beneath the ground can cause visible bulging and hollows to form. These changes offer vital clues about volcanic activity under the ground.
Hydrology Instruments
Hydrology is the study of water flows and groundwater. Hydrologists use pressure sensors, water detectors, maps and the naked eye to gather data. Measuring the hydrology on volcanoes has two purposes. Monitoring water changes can provide clues about the activity of a volcano. A sudden change could predict a volcanic eruption. Hydrologists also identify the paths that water takes as it flows down a volcano’s side. Understanding how water flows can help us understand how lava might flow. This can help emergency services decide where and when to evacuate if an eruption occurs.
Gas Trapping Bottles
Volcanoes emit gases, so measuring gas emissions around volcanoes can also provide useful information about changes in behavior that could indicate an eruption in the making. The instruments used to do this are typically trapping bottles wherein local air is pumped into containers and then analyzed in a lab. As magma moves towards the surface of the earth, the pressure releases gas. The two most abundant gases are sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide, and if levels of these gases increase, it shows that magma is rising to the surface and an eruption is more likely.
