Predicting Volcanic Eruptions
This film, from Twig World, looks at how scientists can predict volcanic activity using seismology to monitor lava patterns deep underground.
The key points made in the film are:
•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.
