Why is it important for scientists to study vog?

to predict the size of an eruption

to alert communities to potential health risks

to calculate the temperature of a volcano

O to measure the extent of lava flow from a vent

b. to alert communities to potential health risks

Explanation:

Vog is defined as the form of air pollution which is caused by the emission of sulfur dioxide and other particles formed due to reaction of oxygen and moisture with volcanic gases in the presence of sunlight.
