How was the bulge formed on mt st helens?
The magma started to work its way up the vent of the volcano. But the path was blocked due to dried lava from other eruptions. So the magma took a different path towards the northern side of the volcano. The buldge then formed, this is called a cryptodome (bubbleof magma) which means Hidden Dome. This buldge grew by 6 feet every day, until the volcano eventually erupted.
