Nobody knows if it's going to continue or not, pretty much everything is speculation and experts have a very wide range of opinions.

Since we had a couple of eruptions in the area recently there's a good chance it will continue and it'll have awakened.

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected.
