Mount St. Helens, located in Skamania County Washington State, had an eruption which caused the death of fifty-seven people on May 18, 1980. A cloud full of ash rose into the sky, turned everything dark, and made any given time of day appear as black as midnight across many of the north-western states. It was recommended that people not leave their homes and they were told to wear gauze masks to keep the ash from entering their lungs. The eruption also caused about one thousand miles of roads to close (including state highways), trains to be stopped, and it forced aircraft to land. The repairs for the roads alone cost hundreds of millions of dollars.…

More than 80 percent of the Earth's surface is from a volcano and the eruption from Mt St. Helens is big part in the environment but the mountain of Mt St. Helens will never be the same since the 1980 eruption. How Volcanoes Work Volcanoes are just a natural way that the Earth and other planets have of cooling off and releasing internal heat and pressure. Volcanoes erupt because of density and pressure. The lower density…

The volcanic eruption is one of the most common natural disasters around the world along history. The volcanic eruption is highly dangerous while costing many loss of lives and financial costs. Many volcanic eruptions seem so similar yet different; there are different levels of damages. There are two similar volcanic eruptions in history, which were both similar but different: the Mt. Pelee eruption in 1902 and Mt. St. Helens eruption in 1980. And through comparing the two eruptions, the relationship between the damage and size of eruption will be demonstrated.…
Explosive volcanoes are one of the most dangerous natural occurrences on the planet, but the types of volcanoes that can destroy the world are know as super volcanoes. Super volcanoes are determined by past explosion and this volcano can be located in the United States called Yellow Stone. Their criteria also depend on the volume of an eruption, for a super volcano the eruption must be more than 240 cubic miles of pumas and ash. There had been three super explosions that fit the criteria at Yellow Stone. The dangers of a super explosion from yellow stone would release a pyroclastic flow that would sear the land.…
There are over 1500 active volcanoes is the world. Sometimes we do not know when a volcano is going to erupt, but most of the times the volcano itself gives early signs of eruption. Some of those signs are small earthquakes beneath the volcano, swelling or increase heat and gases coming out of the volcano. A volcano is a mountain or hill, having a crater or vent where lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gases are being released from the earth's crust. One of the many active volcanos in the world is Mount Agung.…
Imagine a world where the Earth is polluted by ash and the temperature of the world is cooling by a large amount.
