How many miles is mt. St. Helens from olympia
A very long time i think.....
wiwee said yes
:)
it took away 57 lives and injured 543 people.
The current highest elevation (along the rim) is 8363 feet above MSL (2549 meters). This is about 400 meters lower than the summit elevation before the 1980 eruption (2950 m). More than 600 meters of the mountain top slid away or was pulverized.
When first erupted from a volcanic vent, lava is a liquid at temperatures from 700 to 1,200 °C (1,292 to 2,192 °F). Over time the temperate will decrease as it moves away from the source.
David A. Johnston, the vulcanologist, was killed when he was manning an observation point on Mount St. Helens when it erupted in 1980. He was swept away by the blast created by the collapse of the mountain's north flank.
A large portion of one side of the mountain was blown away. Trees were blown down for miles, and much of the land was buried under volcanic ash.
Mount St. Helens is 12.8 miles from Cougar, Washington, via Lewis River Road. If you take NF-81, it is 17.2 miles.

He looked over the Jordan River into the Promised Land and then passed away.

Mountain saint Helens is a volcano is South America.The mountain destroyed an area of mature forset roughly 35km by 20km.Trees were pushed flat pointing away from the source of the blast.
British Columbia, Canada is home to both Mount Seymour, and the national park as to which it is located in, Mount Seymour Provincial Park. It is 15 kilometers (9 miles) away from the city North Vancouver.
The Cascade Range is a major mountain range in western North America, stretching from British Columbia in Canada to California in the United States. It is known for its volcanic peaks, including Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Hood, among others. The Cascade Mountains are home to diverse ecosystems, including old-growth forests, alpine meadows, and high-elevation volcanic landscapes.
Cougar, Washington is about 100 miles by highway but Saint Helens is naturally 28 miles from the volcano. So really either would work!
The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens did not produce lava flows. It was an explosive eruption that prudiced an ash plume and pyroclastic flows. Pyroclastic flows are avalanche-like masses of superheated ash, rock, and gas. Pyroclastic flows from the initial lateral plast reached as far as 19 miles. Ash blown high into the atmosphere was carried by the wind for thousands of miles.
