Cambios ambientales – ¿Sabías que?

Scientists have developed methods to predict volcanic eruptions by monitoring sulfur dioxide levels in the ground near volcanoes. An increase in sulfur dioxide indicates an impending eruption, allowing for timely evacuations that can save many lives.

What are scientists currently focusing on to predict volcanic eruptions?

• Monitoring weather patterns

• Studying animal behavior

• Analyzing historical eruption data

• Developing new prediction methods

Which gas is measured by scientists to predict volcanic eruptions?

• Carbon dioxide

• Nitrogen

• Sulfur dioxide

• Oxygen

What does a rise in sulfur dioxide levels near a volcano indicate?

• A decrease in volcanic activity

• An upcoming eruption

• Stable volcanic conditions

• A change in weather

Why is it important to evacuate people before a volcanic eruption?

• To avoid traffic congestion

• To study the eruption closely

• To save lives

• To prevent property damage

What is the main benefit of predicting volcanic eruptions accurately?

• Increasing tourism

• Saving lives through timely evacuation

• Improving local economy

• Enhancing scientific research
