Video: Mt St Helens Make notes about the effects of this volcanic eruption on people.

Mt St Helens AFTER BEFORE

Consequences of the Eruption Mt St Helens Consequences of the Eruption N O 10km Interactive map Redrawn map, showing compass point, scale line, Mt St Helens, North and South Toutle rivers and area of total destruction. Buttons (North Toutle, trees flattened, Portland, Mt St Helens, Spirit Lake, ash cloud) reveal extra information when clicked…eg click on North Toutle button and ‘mudflows 200m thick in the upper Toutle valleys’ appears

What damage did the eruption cause? Up to 70mm of ash falls across Washington and East Montana…7000 school students have an early Summer vacation due to problems on the roads Mudflows block and divert rivers. Damage to crops $175 million More tourism Two million birds, animals and fish are killed. Less tourism Hot mudflows raise the temperature of the rivers to 30ºC Communications threatened – railway and road bridges destroyed, Portland harbour blocked Deer mice, chipmunk, vole, gophers, salamander survive the blast. 60 people die from the eruption. Gophers, through their tunnelling, mix the soil with the ash. This increases the fertility of the soil. The post office and Lone Fir Motel shut down in Cougar. Separate the above into the short term and long term impacts of the eruption.

Homework: Due:______ What are the affects of a volcanic eruption on people? Give examples. Write about 100 words to answer the above question.

Homework review: Hot spot volcanoes - Hawaiian Islands Active volcanoes Extinct volcanoes Hot spot In the diagram above, why are the volcanoes to the right of the ‘hot spot’ extinct?
