What is volcanic eruption prediction?

Volcanic eruption prediction refers to the scientific process of forecasting when and where a volcano is likely to erupt. It involves monitoring various indicators such as seismic activity, gas emissions, ground deformation, and changes in volcanic behavior to assess the likelihood of an eruption. This prediction helps in issuing timely warnings and implementing necessary evacuation measures to mitigate the potential hazards associated with volcanic eruptions.
