Lecture on Volcano Monitoring

Lecture on Volcano Monitoring

Major purpose of this lecture is to present on Volcano Monitoring. Volcano Observatories are set up on all active volcanoes that threaten the human population. These are designed to monitor and potentially to predict the eruptive behaviour of the volcano in question. Key techniques for monitoring a volcano. Hundreds of small earthquakes are caused as magma rises up through cracks in the Earth’s crust. Temperatures around the volcano rise as activity increases.
