Abstract

Getting to know what is beneath a given volcano and how it behaves during unrests are essential to monitor it correctly. This is of the utmost importance for those volcanoes whose eruptions can have a great impact on the population. Each volcano is unique and earthquakes preceding and accompanying its eruptions provide valuable data to study its interior.
