We know very little about the processes that lead to a reeruption of supervolcanoes such as the mostly underwater Kikai caldera in Japan (pictured) and are therefore ill-equipped to make predictions.

Volcanoes erupt because hot, melted rock from deep inside the Earth finds a way to reach the surface. This melted rock is called magma, and it forms when parts of the Earth’s mantle become so hot that ...
