Source A (article excerpt): Volcanologists watch for warning signs before an eruption. Small earthquakes often increase near a volcano days or weeks before it erupts. Scientists also measure gases like sulfur dioxide, which can rise sharply as magma moves closer to the surface, signaling an eruption may be near.
Source B (transcript of a video segment): Scientist: 'At Mount Rainier, we recorded two small earthquakes per day in January. By March, that jumped to fifteen per day. Sulfur dioxide levels stayed normal the whole time. Our team keeps monitoring closely, but we haven't raised the alert level yet.'
Based on both sources, why might scientists not be very worried despite the earthquake increase?
