How far did the lava flow in the mount st helens eruption?

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.

How powerful was the eruption of Nevado del Ruiz?

Surprisingly, it was not all that powerful as far as eruptions go. It was a VEI 3, about 50 times smaller than the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. However, there was enough hot ash to melt part of the summit snowpack, which created devastating mudflows.


How far did the ash from the 1980 Mount St Helen's eruption travel?

When the erruption of Mt. Saint Helens happened people reported seeing ash clouds as far as California going west and east as far as Wisconsin and south to Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming. This all factored to the way the wind was blowing which sent clouds of ash and soot blowing for miles and being spotted in different states.

The eruption of Nevado del Ruiz was far worse. While the eruption of Mount St. Helens was far larger, its worst effects were limited to mostly unpopulated areas, and many of the people who did live in the immediate vicinity had been evacuated beforehand. In ally, 57 people died. The eruption of Nevado del Ruiz was relatively small, but the resulting mudflows killed more than 23,000 people.

Can a volcano affect you if its on the other side of the world?

Yes, depending upon the magnitude (severity) of the eruption. Large clouds of ash can be blown across the globe, reducing visibility and restricting air travel. Seismic activity from a volcanic eruption can also trigger tsunami waves that can have devastating impacts far away from the original site of the volcanic eruption.
