What is volcanic tremor?

Volcanic tremor refers to continuous, rhythmic, and low-frequency seismic vibrations or oscillations that are associated with volcanic activity. It is caused by the movement of magma, gas, and other volcanic materials within the volcano's plumbing system. Volcanic tremors can be an indication of increased volcanic activity and can help scientists monitor and predict volcanic eruptions.
