Texte d'origine - Anglais - seismic signals

Before it erupts, a volcano produces many thousands of earthquakes. Some of these happen when rock inside the volcano cracks or slips along a fault. Others are caused by magma (molten rock) and gases trying to move under pressure within channels and cracks.
