With all the volcanoes happening in the world and all the plate tectonic shifting and seismic activity it makes sense to have better volcano prediction software to help scientists and researchers know when a volcano might potentially go off. By doing this we can save human lives in many regions of the world.

Volcanic prediction software also needs to include the influences of the moon gravity waves and also take into consideration solar flare activity from the sun. Although these alone are not the most important of all possible scenarios to take into considerations to be put into the software they are amongst some of the criteria and data sets that we need to look into.

For volcanic prediction software to actually work we must take into consideration all the possible triggers that can cause a volcano and which ones make volcanic activity more likely. Recently, there has been new volcanic prediction software, which has come out which does take into consideration for other possible criteria and components determining the percentages and factors associated with predicting volcanoes.

By using greater numbers of data sets and criteria and supercomputers to crunch the data we should be able to predict volcanoes much more precisely in the future and save lives around the world. Please consider this in 2006.
