I found this article at CNN.com. The title of the article is "Alaska volcano 'more energetic,' scientists say". This article is about an Alaskan volcano named Mount Redoubt that is expected to erupt very soon. In recent days, The Alaska Volcano Observatory said that the "volcanic tremor" has increased in "amplitude.". This increase in activity helps the scientist predict the eruption based on other times that the volcano has erupted. A lot of the time, scientists are able to predicted when a volcano is going to erupt based on previous behaiviors and eruptions. In May of 1980, Mount St. Helens erupted. Scientist use the information from the May eruption to predict when Mount St. Helens is due for another blow. This prediction is made by using the same tecniques as scientists used to find the expected eruption of Mount Redoubt. http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/01/30/alaska.volcano/index.html
