Which is more predictable, a volcanic eruption or an earthquake? Explain why. This question is a science question but whatever

I would say volcanic eruptions are more predictable because you can feel the warmth and see smoke coming out of the volcano a little bit before it erupts and you can prepare for it

Answer:

Volcanic eruptions are more predictable

Both volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are measured by seismographs but volcanic eruptions are easier to notice because of where tectonic plates move(hotspots). If their is an opening between plates over a hotspot a volcano can form and eventually erupt.
