The structure of the volcano, and the intensity of the volcanic eruption, is dependent on a number of factors, primarily the composition of the magma. In the next section, we'll look at some different magma types and see how they erupt. Magma Eruptions Gas vents from Kilauea Volcano in ...

How Explosive Eruptions Work Magma deep underground exists at a high enough pressure to keep the gases within it in their dissolved state. When magma approaches the surface of the Earth, however, that pressure decreases, and gases can then come out of solution. If there's enough dissolved gas...
Volcanologists are using powerful supercomputers to forecast volcanic eruptions. Fractures in rock along a volcano’s magma chamber can cause tiny movements along the volcano that indicate that an eruption is imminent. Scientists use GPS and satellites to measure this deformation and can input this ...
In many cases, it is not easy to define the start and end of an eruption and whether long-lasting eruptions should be considered in such statistics or not. Generally, volcanologist prefer to talk about eruptive phases of a volcano that belong to one single eruption: two or several eruptive ...
Instead, this work “points to a much greater variety among plumes,” Steinberger said. “It is kind of like whenever you get a new close-up view of a planet or moon. It has some totally unexpected features. But it is still round.” ...

What Causes a Volcano to Erupt, and How Do Scientists Predict Eruptions?Attila Kilinc
‘With the new radar imagery we plot a 96-kilometre separation from the volcano (half of what it was a few years ago),’ says Hoey. ‘Then depending on wind direction and other information we mark up lines to create fly, no-fly or “accessible only in good visual conditions” zones. ...
