If the volcano decides to erupt i think the smoke and heat will be the first warnings

Meaningful prediction requires careful monitoring of a volcano’s vital signs. Seismometers can be used to pinpoint earthquakes which track the rise of magma and its movement along fissures. Measurements of the tilt of the entire mountain provide additional information about the “breathing” of the volcano as magma moves inside it. Instruments that sniff SO2, CO2 and other gases also can signal changes in the volcano. At some volcanoes the seismic information seems most reliable, at others the tilt tells the story. But the best predictions come from the combination of all of these methods into a volcano monitoring and prediction system.

each volcano is unique. The pattern of events that signifies an eruption at one volcano may not occur before an eruption at a different volcano.

 

the united nations established a 12 station earthquake monitoring system in the philppines so this must be part of that system? i read that PHILVOLS works with and uses data from the USGS and NASA as part of their assessment and early warning process. i think USGS and NASA are very involved in providing data around the pacific rim with most or all of the affected countries, partly as a defensive measure to give early warning to the US west coast in case of disaster. something i read said the phils was the 3rd highest country in risk for major diasters and i think most of us have seen or know that seems to be true. surely japan is also high on the list

 

so did everyone see the report from the philippne volcano folks "philvolcs" of the 6.6 quake at masbate yesterday? four volcanos put on level one alert including our kanlaon?

it is of particular interest to me as my asawa and i went to redrock above valencia to swim monday and we both noted the increased steam venting taking place on the way, espcially the steam vent field just short of red rock. there were also two smaller rock slides on the road that required some judicious navagation to avoid the larger ones.

this was before the quake occured. just a heads up

 

That's funny,

Put it this way......sometimes it best to say nothing when people start taking a pop at each other.

Can you predict earthquakes?
No. Neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future. USGS scientists can only calculate the probability that a significant earthquake will occur in a specific area within a certain number of years.

 

Well, Mr Sn (going back to Latin and chemistry, you are 'Mr Tin') .... when I saw your amazing prowess at Latin I had to catch up, so I used Google to find the Latin for 'defecate '(as in 'I defecate, therefore I am') and found 'assellor' as a definition for that process (and also meaning 'to void'). It made me wonder if that is where '@ss' comes from. I will have to look that up (NOT 'look up that' - the order of words is so important!).

After my experience here with 'p u s s y' and 'v a g i n a' being changed to 'wee wee hole', I hate to think what they might do to the above!

Btw, everything I ever write is from the internet - I am only a mere orang-utan in a zoo (even though I have put on my first lipstick).

EDIT: They changed ' a s s' (without the spacings ) - a word even used in the Bible) - into 'bottom'! How low can it get!
