Is Mt. St Helens about to erupt?

Answer 1

No one knows when a volcano is going to become active again. The Cascade Range is one of the most active volcanic areas in the world, and new activity is to be expected. The Three Sisters area in central Oregon is perhaps the next most likely area to see volcanic activity, as it has been swelling several centimeters per year for about 10 years now. Mt. St. Helen's is still erupting, although quietly, in a dome-building eruption, but that could change at any time. Mt. Hood has not given any signs that it is going to become active soon, but it is still considered "active" as the last activity was only a few hundred years ago.

Answer 2

Mount Saint Helens has been releasing steam and the crater is building. It has been since 1980 when it erupted in the most deadly way. the whole north face of the composite volcano blew strait off due to magma build up.

technically any volvano can blow at any time!!!! :-o

Answer 3

Like any volcano it is almost unpredictable. It erupts when ever a particularly strong surge of lava comes into it from the center of the earth. The tell-tale signs that it will erupt are smoke coming from its top in thick plumes, minor earthquakes, and ash raining down like snow as the fresh lava breaks thru the old dry lava and force out any ashes left over from the last eruption.

Answer 4

Yes get out of there now!
