Is Mt St Helens a shield cinder cone or composite volcano?

Answer 1

No. In terms of the size of the structure itself, the largest volcano on Earth is Mauna Loa, which makes up the majority of the volume of the isaldn of Hawaii (the big island). The largest volcano known to science is Olympus Mons on Mars. The tallest volcano on Earth in terms of elevation is Ojos de Salado on the Chile-Argentina border at 22,615 feet. By comparison Mount St Helens is at 8,365 feet (9,677 before the 1980 eruption). Mount St Helens did not produce the largest eruption either.
