Gas emissions help track volcanic activity by providing valuable information about the movement of magma beneath the Earth's surface. When a volcano becomes active, magma rises towards the surface, releasing gases such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. By monitoring the composition and quantity of these gases, scientists can track changes in volcanic activity, predict potential eruptions, and assess the level of danger to nearby communities. Additionally, the measurement of gas emissions can also help researchers understand the type of volcanic eruption that may occur and its potential impact on the surrounding environment.
