Scientists predict volcanic eruptions by monitoring various indicators such as seismic activity, gas emissions, ground deformation, and changes in temperature. These data help scientists understand the behavior of a volcano and identify patterns that may indicate an impending eruption. Advanced technologies like satellite imagery and remote sensing are also used to monitor volcanic activity from a distance. By analyzing these data points, scientists can make educated predictions about when a volcano may erupt and issue warnings to help mitigate potential risks to nearby populations.
