The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens killed 57 people.
The largest eruption of Yellowstone, known as the Huckleberry Ridge Tuff eruption, occurred about 2.1 million years ago and expelled approximately 2,500 cubic kilometers of material. In contrast, the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens produced about 1 cubic kilometer of material. Therefore, it would take roughly 2,500 Mount St. Helens eruptions to equal the volume of the largest Yellowstone eruption.
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.
57 people were confirmed to have died as a result of the eruption of Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980.
Yes. Mount St. Helens produced many pyroclastic flows.
There are many including Mount St Helens, Mount Rainier, Mount Fuji, and Mount Vesuvius.
Mount Saint Helens errupted on May 18,1980 at exactly 8:32 am.It destroyed many things and killed people.
Mt. St. Helens does not have eruptions on a yearly basis. It is an active volcano, so the frequency and size of eruptions can vary. Since its catastrophic eruption in 1980, there have been smaller eruptions in subsequent years, but there is no fixed average number of eruptions per year.
The eruption of Mount St. Helens did not occur on July 10, 2008. The most significant eruption of the volcano took place on May 18, 1980, which resulted in 57 fatalities. There were no fatalities associated with any eruptions in July 2008, as the volcano was relatively quiet during that time.

Mount St. Helens is a living laboratory of volcanic study and the most studied volcano in the world. The USGS has been studying the volcano for over 30 years and lessons they have learned have saved many lives across the globe with their volcanic prediction science.
