5. Ways to detect volcanoes
We can start by monitoring the number of volcanic eruptions per year.
See the change in ground(deformation).
We have to know what happens before a volcano erupts.
We also can see if the ground has tilted due to magma entering.
The crater may glow due to magma near the crater.
Rumbling sounds due to gas explosions/ landslides.

6. Technologies
Scientists use many technologies to detect if volcanoes are going to erupt.
Seisometers are used to detect earth quakes. Earthquakes occur before volcanoes erupt.
Global positioning instruments search the build up of magma.
Sensors test the air for gases indicating magma eruption.

7. Interesting Facts The mayon volcano is 2 421 meters above sea level

It’s located at the convergent boundary between Eurasia and the Philippine plates

8. Type of volcanoes Active volcanoes-explode often
Dormant volcanoes- explode sometimes
Extinct volcanoes-are never going to erupt again
Mayon is a active volcano. It is also a composite meaning it is round and cone shaped.

9. A volcano is formed usually of subduction.
How a volcano is formed
A volcano is formed usually of subduction.
The oceanic plates and/or continental plates collide together and come under each other to create a volcano this is known as subduction.
