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.
