130. Note: Although difficult, Volcanologist can use data
to predict when a volcano may erupt. Seismometers
can be used to pinpoint earthquakes which track the
rise of magma and its movement along fissures. The
tilt of the mountain can also be used as well as
instruments that collect gas samples.

151. • Why do volcanoes erupt?
• When rock from the mantle melts, it moves
to the surface through the crust, and
releases pent-up gases which can erupt.
152. • Activity! Volcanic Explosion.
– A volcano is a lot like a bottle of soda exploding.
– Like soda, molten earth contains gases.
– These gases create a frothy cloudy explosion.
– Note the air spaces in the volcanic rock Pumice.
