Why can't we predict when a volcano will erupt???
Answers
Answer:
Scientists monitor earthquakes at the volcano, the gas it expels, and possible deformation of its surface for signs of an impending eruption. Increasingly frequent earthquakes as the magma moves are one of the main clues, and Mt. This slew of complications makes eruption-prediction incredibly difficult.
More to Know:
A volcanologist or vulcanologist is a geologist who studies the processes involved in the formation and eruptive activity of volcanoes and their current and historic eruptions, known as volcanology.
Volcanologists require a bachelor's degree at minimum in geology, geophysics, or earth science. However, a bachelor's degree typically provides little specialized knowledge of volcanoes and will only allow someone to obtain an entry-level position in the field.
