As the pressure lowers on it, it degases; it's like opening a pop bottle. We pick up the vibrations from the gas and magma. Since the magma has to make space for itself as it rises, the surface of the volcano deforms and we can look for those deformations.

The author, a prolific figure in the analytical school of philosophy, was inspired partly by Harry Frankfurt’s 2005 treatise “On Bullshit...
...Amid a parade of empty tables, the loft serves as a seldom-used chess parlor, MacDonald reminisces about the 126-year-old store’s colorful past in Harvard Square, mourning the steady encroachment of national chains into what was once an enclave of mom-and-pop shops. Twiddling an empty Starbucks cup, he concedes that not all of the chains are unwelcome, but says that “when push comes to shove, it’s better to patronize the local businesses first...
