What was the damage Mount St Helens caused to the area when it erupted in 1980?
Mud slide and land slides
How do mudslides form?
Mudslides form when a mass of soil, rock, and vegetation becomes saturated with water, losing its strength and cohesion, causing it to flow downhill. This saturation can be due to heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or rapid melting of ice, creating a fast-moving mixture of water and debris. Steep slopes and areas prone to erosion are more susceptible to mudslides.
How does rain cause rocks slides?
Rain can cause rock slides by saturating the ground, increasing the weight of rocks, and reducing the friction between them. This can weaken the stability of slopes, making it easier for rocks to break loose and slide down. Additionally, prolonged or intense rain can erode the base of a slope, further destabilizing rocks and triggering slides.
How are mud slides dangerous?
Mudslides are dangerous because they can travel at high speeds, carry heavy debris, and destroy everything in their path. They can be triggered by heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or other factors that saturate the ground, leading to the destabilization of the soil and rock layers on a slope. Mudslides can cause significant damage to infrastructure, homes, and natural environments, as well as pose serious risks to human life.
What hapens during a avalanche?
In an avalanche a small amount of snow or mud on a mountain or hill starts moving downhill. As it moves, more snow or mud joins it. As it slides along, it starts knocking over items in its path and burying them. Sometimes those objects are humans. If it is snow and the people are not rescued soon enough, they die. In California, a number of people do not like all the plants on the hill sides so they remove them. When a strong rain comes, it turns the hillside to mud. An avalanche comes. Mud covers the houses below. If it takes enough land away from the top of the hill, a house up there is likely to lose its foundation and start falling over the hill. While inclement weather in California provides the immediate cause of the avalanches of mud, people clearing land of trees and brushes is the real reason they happen.
