Volcanoes are a mechanism by which earth's internal energy is released. They are basically vents or chimneys to the surface from a reservoir of molten rocks in the earth's crust. The basic ingredients of a volcano are molten rock (magma) and the accumulation of gases below an active volcanic vent, which may be either on land or below the sea. Abrupt increase in seismic activity in the vicinity of an active volcano often heralds a volcanic eruption. The location and movement of swarms of tremors indicate the movement of magma through the volcano. Monitoring and detection of these can enable short-range predictions of volcanic eruptions.
