Mt. Rainier's size is continually changing due to a variety of natural processes, but on a human timescale, it appears to be neither getting significantly larger nor smaller. It is still an active volcano, so future eruptions could potentially cause changes to its shape and size.

The plates that are currently causing Mount rainier to form is the North American plate and the Jaun de Fuca plate.

At least 80 warriors and their families were killed in 1790 by a rare explosive eruption of Kilauea and a photographer was crushed by a boulder in another eruption.

Mt. Rainier has erupted 11 confirmed times in the last 10,000 years. Most of these eruptions (8) are concentrated between 6500 and 4000 years ago. Since the eruption 2,200 years ago there has only been one recorded explosive eruption as identified and dated through airfall tephra and tree ring dating. This eruption was believed to be between 1820 and 1854 AD. For further information on the more distant geologic history and understanding of future risks from Mt. Rainier see related links to the Cascades Volcano Observatory.

Mount Rainier is a volcano in the U.S. state of Washington, located about 40 miles southwest of Tacoma. It is one of the world's 16 decade volcanoes, those considered especially dangerous due to their location and eruptive history.

There is no border near Mt. Rainier. It is in the state of Washington.

Yes, it is very close to Seattle, Wa. it is about 60 miles away.

Laurie Ann Johnson, age 7, climbed Mt. Rainier with her family, in 1972.

its location is in north america

That depends on the size of the eruption and the wind speed and direction. In all likely hood, though, Seattle would not see much ashfall, as the prevailing winds would tend to carry the ash eastward, away from the city.

Mount Rainier is an active volcano. Similar to many other volcanoes it has a large assortment or rocks, a lot of granite as these rocks are carried out from the magma chamber. There are other rocks such as basalt, Scoria, sandstone, mudstone, shale, limestone, quartize, hornfels, slate and marble.

The plates that are currently causing Mount rainier to form is the North American plate and the Jaun de Fuca plate.

It is a really big Composite volcano (also known as a stratovolcano) that is located in pierce county, Washington, 54 miles southeast of Seattle. It is the highest Mountain in Washington and the casade Range.

Mount Rainier is very slowly getting smaller as glaciers wear away at it.

Mount Fuji has a height of 12,388 feet while the highest mountain in the United States has a height of 20,320 feet. This is Mt. McKinley in the state of Alaska.

well i don't exacaly know because it was alot of years ago. It was in the 1880's.

Like many stratovolcanoes, Mount St Helens has produced material of mafic, felsic, and intermediate composition. Overall, much of the material is itermediate. The 1980 eruption and later activity have produced dacite, which has an intermediate-felsic composition

They are both volcanoes.

Mount Rainier has a summit pit but does not have a caldera.
