What scientists watch

Earthquakes

Rock fracturing and moving fluids create different seismic signals. A change in counts is interpreted alongside other evidence.

Deformation

Ground movement can indicate pressure changes. Instruments measure small displacements; a swollen 3D mountain would require a stated exaggeration.

Gas & thermal signals

Gas composition, emission rates and heat can help identify changing pathways or magma supply. Weather can limit observations.
