Abstract
Volcanic eruptions remain the most prevalent current event, with even more than fifty
eruptions throughout the world in the 21st century. In this regard, such eruptions can still
have severe economic and societal effects. Numerous eruptions, however, are accompanied
by a disturbance that may be spotted by the ground, aerial, and space-based equipment. The
information from some of these detecting devices, together with a fundamental understanding
of how volcanoes function, constitutes the foundation for predicting eruptions, including
where, when, how large, how long, and what will happen if they happen. Human life has
been impacted in various ways. Volcanic eruptions can sometimes be quiet or violent,
resulting in hazardous lava flows, toxic fumes, flying boulders, and ash. Numerous natural
hazards, including earthquakes, landslides, rock falls, severe thunderstorms, fires, as well as
tsunamis, are frequently associated with volcanic eruptions. Whether someone lives near
active or even dormant volcanoes, people should be ready to respond quickly. Accurate
predictions of the possibility and magnitude of an explosion in a given period are based on
earth's scientific knowledge of the mechanisms that regulate magma accumulation and
eruption. However, due to the small number of volcanoes or eruption types examined with
modern technology, our understanding of volcanic processes is still inadequate and skewed.
Volcanic Eruptions and Related Precursor chemicals, unrests, or even timing define
important scientific current issues, research and observation needs, and strategies for forming
