North to north fork of toutle river and south to spirit lake and all the space ranging between the two. In an aerial photograph you can see where the green land is where the eruption bypassed and the bare rock where ash, water magma and trees were rushed downwards at a speed of 175 mph.

Volcanologists believe Mt. St. Helens will erupt again because it is an active volcano with a history of explosive eruptions. Monitoring data shows ongoing volcanic activity, such as earthquakes and deformation, indicating that the volcano is still active and building pressure beneath the surface. This suggests that another eruption is possible in the future.
Mt. St. Helens is a mountain in Southern Washington state, in the Cascade Mountain Chain. It's most recent major eruption was on May 18, 1980
Mt. St. Helens first erupted on May 18, 1980. It was a catastrophic eruption that resulted in the loss of lives, destruction of property, and significant environmental impact.
Mt Saint Helens was caused to erupt because when two plates collided together-the continential (named:North American Plate) was forced over the oceanic crust (named: Juan De Fuca) causing the top of the moutain to blow over the side of the mountian. The oceanic crust goes deeper and deeper into the continential crust that when soon it reaches the lithosphere (the mantle) causing it to melt into lava. Then the hot pressure shoots up the magma chamber and shoots out the top causing mt saint helens. Mt saint helens erupted on May 18, 2000 in Skamania County in Washington. This explosion cause tons of ash, hot rock, and gas. Over 57 people were sadly killed in this eruption. The mountain range that mt saint helens was located on was the Cascade Range which was firts descovered by Thomas J. Dryer. Mt saint helens was a Plinian volcanoe, which meaning when it explodes there is not much lava spewing from the top. It is mostly ash coming out over 5 miles per hour out of the volcanoe. Mt saint helens is now dead in the year of 2013. but it did last erupt in june 10, 2004. -sydney
It does erupt, just not all the time. Many volcanoes go through quiet periods of years and even centuries between eruptions. Mount St. Helens is known for a massive explosive eruption that ocurred on May 18, 1980. The volcano also produced a series of small eruptions from 2004 to 2008 and has since been quite. It will erupt again some day, though we do not know when.
yes it can
yes
Sideways (Lateral Blast).
scientist say mt. saint helens is so powerful that the erupt of may 18 1908 was felt in 3 other states
I think mt st helens last erupted in 2004
No, Mount St. Helens last erupted in 2008. The most notable eruption of Mount St. Helens occurred on May 18, 1980, resulting in significant devastation to the surrounding area.
there were many warnings about mount St.Helen if they had an earthquake it would trigger the volcano to erupt causing the people to know if it will erupt or not
It is an ACTIVE volcano so it can erupt but it is near impossible to escape the ash

Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980 at 8:32 a.m. local time.
In some cases, yes. However the most recent eruptions have produced dacite.
