Points to indicates support for an interpretation rather than direct observation of every proposed process.
Your turn
Explain why the finding is promising without claiming it predicts eruption dates.
See one possible answer
The crystals show a recurring chemical pattern, and modelling links it to deeper magma disturbing a shallow reservoir. It could guide monitoring research, but it is not an established eruption timetable.
Your answer can be different. Give a reason and use your own words.
