Question

Why do volcanologists use tiltmeters and strainmeters?(1 point) Responses to prevent volcanic eruptions to prevent volcanic eruptions to determine changes to Earth’s surface to determine changes to Earth’s surface to identify gases released from volcanoes to identify gases released from volcanoes to detect earthquake swarms

Answer 1

Volcanologists use tiltmeters and strainmeters primarily to determine changes to Earth’s surface. These instruments help monitor ground deformation, which can indicate volcanic activity such as magma movement beneath the surface.
