When was Mount Rainier most recent eruption?
Asked by Wiki User
Mount St. Helens remains a potentially active and dangerous volcano, even though it is now (1995) quiescent. In the last 515 years, it is known to have produced 4 major explosive eruptions (each with at least 1 cubic kilometer of eruption deposits) and dozens of lesser eruptions. Two of the major eruptions were separated by only 2 years. One of those, in 1480 A.D., was about 5 times larger than the May 18, 1980 eruption, and even larger eruptions are known to have occurred during Mount St. Helens' brief but very active 50,000-year lifetime. Following the most recent major eruption, on May 18, 1980, there were 5 smaller explosive eruptions over a period of 5 months. Thereafter, a series of 16 dome-building eruptions through October 1986 constructed the new, 270-meter- (880-feet) high, lava dome in the crater formed by the May 18, 1980 eruption.

Thiruvananthapuram and Shillong are on the easternmost tip of India and are among the first cities along the path of the southwest monsoon.
Being closer to the sea Thiruvananthapuram gets rains at June and as Shillong is closer to the Himalayan ranges and cooler, gets rain.
