Rockfalls can be generated by a growing lava dome, but this cannot be confirmed without visual observations,\u201d the SRC said, noting that the continuous GPS (Global Positioning System)\u00a0\u00a0 network has shown a change in horizontal and vertical movement since the initial depressurization noted immediately following the April 9 explosive phase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It said that the continuous GPS network is used to track changes in ground shape on and around the volcano.\u00a0 As magma moves beneath the volcano, changes in pressure cause the volcano to change shape (inflate\/deflate).<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThese changes may suggest magma influx from deep within the sub-volcanic system, however, more investigation is needed to confirm this interpretation,\u201d the SRC said, adding \u201cthe volcano continues to erupt. Its pattern of seismic activity over the last few days is typical of the growth and destruction of lava domes\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Robertson told radio listeners that the volcano in its current state can erupt explosively without warning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cAnyone on the volcano at the time is at risk of dying horribly from blunt trauma to the body, from excessive burns, and from asphyxiation. Anyone at the summit as you were today will certainly be killed if it has one of the kinds of eruptions that it had on the very same day that you visited.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cStop putting yourself, your co-hikers, and potentially the search and rescue team that would come to get you if something happens.
