Mt. Rainier Seismicity

7 days of seismicity at Mt. Rainier (2010 March 25 09:59:22) http://www.pnsn.org/RAINIER/rainrec_eqs.html

Graph showing relationship between time and depth of earthquakes…beneath Mount Rainier from 02/24, 2009, through 03/24, 2010. In this graph, 0 km depth corresponds to 3 km (about 2 miles) below the summit of Mount Rainier, which is the average station elevation of recording seismographs near Rainier.

Mt. Rainier Mudflow, lahar deposits

Note – you don’t need an eruption to generate a lahar – just a source of water and unconsolidated ash deposits.
