What rock forms when Mount St Helens erupts?
Mt. St. Helens has erupted a very broad spectrum of igneous rocks. Primarily it is known as an explosive volcano meaning that it most commonly erupts Dacite, which has a high amount of silica present in the rock. However, throughout the geologic history of the volcano it has erupted everything from Basalt (very fluid, Hawaiian style) magma, to Rhyodacite (very sticky, explosive) style of magma. The silica content in a volcanoes magma supply primarily determines if the volcano will tend to have an explosive type of eruption or if it will tend to fountain lava. Mt. St. Helens having primarily Dacite tends to be a commonly more explosive volcano when it goes through its eruption periods. For a further detailed geologic history of Mt. St. Helens please see related links to the Geologic History of Mt. St. Helens as provided by the United States Geological Survey, Cascades Volcano Observatory.
