Mount St. Helens has a magma chamber that can hold approximately 2 to 5 cubic kilometers of magma. However, the exact capacity can vary due to geological processes and the dynamics of volcanic activity. Since its major eruption in 1980, the volcano has continued to evolve, affecting the size and characteristics of its magma reservoir.

What is the volume of magma Mt St Helens could hold?

Mount St. Helens could possibly hold up to 0.3 cubic kilometers of magma in its magma chamber. However, the exact volume can fluctuate based on various factors such as temperature, pressure, and composition of the magma.


Why do eruptions in Hawaii differ from the Mt. St. Helen's eruption?

The magma of the Hawaiian volcanoes has a basaltic composition, which means it has a low viscosity (it flows easily) and so can erupt easily without needing too much force behind it. This low viscosity magma cannot hold very much gas and so erupts effusively By contrast, the magma involved in the 1980 eruption of Mount St Helens had a dacitic composition, which has an extremely high viscosity. The high viscosity allows large mounts of gas to be stored in the magma under pressure. When the magma was exposed to lower pressure near the surface, the gas was released and expanded explosively, blasting the magma into ash and pumice.

Low or high viscosity in mount saint Helen's?

The magma beneath Mount St. Helens is typically of low viscosity due to its composition, which is rich in silica and gas. This low viscosity magma allows for gases to escape easily, resulting in explosive eruptions.
