Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

Volcanologists monitor and measure volcanoes they think might erupt. They look for any evidence that magma is moving upward in the volcano, such as changes in the slope or horizontal distances of volcanic cones. They also look for changes in magnetic or electrical fields and for gas emissions. Most importantly, they look for harmonic tremors. These are not the sharp earthquakes that commonly occur but they can last for hours and indicate magma movement.
