"Monitoring History's Best Caldera-Forming Eruption for Insights into Earthquake Origins"
TL;DR
A new Stanford study reveals that the number and intensity of foreshocks dramatically increase just before major volcanic earthquakes, providing insights into how earthquakes begin along major fault lines. This information could help in understanding and predicting seismic activity and earthquakes in the future.
