    Signs of An Impending Volcanic Eruption

    Seismometers placed around a volcano can detect earthquakes and determine if magma is moving underground. As magma rises, it causes the surface of the volcano to deform and expand. Changes in areas of gas release, plant life, and lake colors also indicate impending eruption. Precise measurements can detect surface changes at a volcano.

    Signs of an Impending Volcanic Eruption

    If you have at least 3 seismometers, and they are strategically placed,


    you can triangulate on earthquakes to see if they are occurring in a
    place that indicates perhaps magma movement.
    When magma moves up into the shallow plumbing of a volcano, it
    takes up space and pushes the surrounding rock outward. This also
    causes the surface of the volcano to deform. Some points move
    upward and any two points will move farther apart. By using very
    accurate leveling and distance-measuring techniques, these surface
    changes can be measured.
    If the area of active degassing gets larger, if the plants nearby die
    suddenly, if the color of any lakes or ponds nearby changes...Many
    volcanoes have summit lakes through which heat and gases rise to the
    surface and escape.

    Dos and Donts Before, After, and During the Volcanic Eruption.
    DOS

    DONTS

    BEFORE
    1. Prepare all
    necessary things
    to bring in case of
    evacuation
    2. Know which
    areas are covered
    by the danger
    zones.
    3. Store as much
    food, water, light
    sources and
    batteries that are
    very useful in
    case of
    emergency.
    1. Dont panic
    2. Dont wear
    contacts.

    AFTER
    1. After removing
    the ash, clean the
    roof and gutter
    with water to
    prevent corrosion.
    2. Wait for further
    announcements
    related to the
    volcanic eruption.
    3. Clean
    everything around
    and check all
    damages incurred.

    DURING
    1. Stay Calm.
    2. Cover your
    nose and mouth

    house and your
    car to prevent
    ashes from
    getting inside.
