5. Eruptive History
Mt St Helens’ most famous eruption happened on May 18th, 1980 after a magnitude 5.1 earthquake triggered the largest landslide in recorded history.
1,314 feet of elevation on the mountain was removed in the blast.
The blast devastated 229 square miles of forest.
The ash plume reached about 80,000 feet in less than 15 minutes spread across US in 3 days; circled Earth in 15 days.
57 people were killed.

6. Positives and Negatives
+ + + It is a world famous tourist attraction and an active scientific volcano laboratory.
Many people still live near the volcano, exposing themselves to future danger. Larger, longer lasting eruptions have occurred in the volcano's past and are likely to occur in the future.

7. Interesting Facts
