Mt. Ranier is a hot ash volcano like Mt. Saint Helens. So when it erupts, hot ash explodes out like a mushroom cloud and then disperses over a wide area. Lahars cause mudslides and water and debris flow down the mountain. Lava does not pour out though, because it is a hot ash volvano, both types of mountains have magma underneath.
