Yes it is low in silica
Mount St Helens produces mostly dacite lava, which is relatively high in silica.
low
Because Mount Rainier is a Strato Volcano it has both quiet and explosive eruptions. Explosive(pyroclastic) flows have a high silica level. Quiet have low silica levels. The more silica the thicker the magma.
Mount Hood has high silica levels so the lava is felsic (Mt. Hood's silica values are as high as 64%).
Mount Shasta is dormant

No. Mount Shasta is a stratovolcano.

Mount Shasta is dormant
how are Mount Shasta and Lassen Peak alike? Both Mount Shasta and Lassen Peak are dormant volcanoes.
i think it is mount Shasta because when i look at mount Shasta i mostly see snow!:) Hope i helped
mount shasta is famous for its twin peaks
Given that it tends to erupt in a very explosive manner, mount Tambora has a high silica content.
Mount Shasta last erupted in 1786.
