Yes. Forests grew on portions of the slopes of Mount St. Helens but were wiped out by the 1980 eruption. Some life has returned to the lower slopes.
The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens was a explosive eruption caused by a lateral blast. It was triggered by a massive collapse of the volcano's north flank, releasing pressure built up within the volcano.
No. Compared with other volcanoes of the same type, Mount St. Helens is not extraordinarily large and is smaller than it was prior to its 1980 eruption. The 1980 eruption was large, but nowhere near the largest.
Mount St. Helens is a stratovolcano, which is a tall, conical volcano composed of layered lava flows and pyroclastic ejecta. It is known for its catastrophic eruption in 1980.
As with many stratovolcanoes, the type of activity at Mount St Helens varies. In its famous 1980 eruption it produce massive clouds of ash and pumice and later built a lava dome. The rock formed was dacite. However, other material has erupted in the volcano's past, including basaltic lava flows.
the eruption that did it was a eruption
Mount St. Helens is an active stratovolcano located in Skamania County, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is part of the Cascade Range. The mountain is well known for its catastrophic eruption in 1980 which dramatically changed its landscape.

Mount St. Helens is predominantly composed of andesite, which is an intermediate volcanic rock that forms from the partial melting of the Earth's crust. This type of rock gives Mount St. Helens its characteristic gray color and is related to the volcanic activity in the area.
There has never been any eruption on Mount Everest, it is not a volcano.
