Predicting Volcanic Eruptions

Learn how scientists can predict volcanic activity using seismology to monitor lava patterns deep underground. Earth Science - Geology - Learning Points. Scientists use seismology to predict an eruption. A "long-period event" involves pressure slowly building up before an eruption. Scientists monitor the external behavior of volcanoes. Thousands were saved in 2000 when an eruption of a volcano was predicted in Mexico. A Twig Context Film. Reinforce and extend the learning required by the curriculum. Twig’s context films show abstract concepts in action in the real world.
