It is virtually impossible to predict an eruption.
yes it can
yes
scientist say mt. saint helens is so powerful that the erupt of may 18 1908 was felt in 3 other states
Scientists are unsure about this. Some are predicting that it's going to happen soon and others think it's not going to happen for a long time.
tots bro!!
May 18th, 1980.
An extinct volcano has not had an eruption for at least 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again in a comparable time scale of the future
Predicting volcanic eruptions although part of the science of volcanology is the most difficult thing to successfully accomplish. The times between eruptions of volcanoes varies, and does not follow an exact pattern or time frame between eruptions. The only way that scientists have an idea of when a volcano will next erupt is when the volcano starts showing signs of unrest, and than it still depends heavily on what types of unrest the scientists are witnessing.
Volcanologists believe Mt. St. Helens will erupt again because it is an active volcano with a history of explosive eruptions. Monitoring data shows ongoing volcanic activity, such as earthquakes and deformation, indicating that the volcano is still active and building pressure beneath the surface. This suggests that another eruption is possible in the future.
dormant
There is no way of knowing. The timing of volcanic eruptions cannot be predicted accurately, even when a volcano is getting ready to erupt. Currently Mount St Helens is not showing any signs of imminent activity.
Why did Mount.St. Helens Erupt?
