Where can you see a cinder cone?

You can see a cinder cone volcano in various places around the world, such as the Mojave Desert in California, the San Francisco volcanic field in Arizona, and the many cinder cones in the Hawaiian Islands. These volcanoes are characterized by their steep, conical shape formed by the accumulation of cinder and other volcanic debris during eruptions.

Is mt rainier close to mt saint helens?

Yes, Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens are both located in Washington state, but they are not right next to each other. Mount St. Helens is located to the west of Mount Rainier, approximately 50 miles away.

Why did Mount Rainier erupt in 1894?

Mount Rainier did not have a significant eruption in 1894. Instead, it experienced a notable volcanic activity in the form of steam eruptions and minor ash emissions during that time. The geological activity was primarily due to the heat from the volcano's magma interacting with groundwater. This type of activity is characteristic of stratovolcanoes like Mount Rainier, which can exhibit intermittent eruptions and steam events rather than large explosive eruptions.

What mountains are taller than Mount Rainier?

Some mountains taller than Mount Rainier include Mount Saint Elias in Alaska, Mount Foraker in Alaska, Denali (Mount McKinley) in Alaska, and Mount Logan in Canada.

What formed Mount Rainier?

Mount Rainier, along with the other Cascade volcanoes, was formed as a result of a subduction zone. Off the coast in this region the small Juan De Fuca Plate, composed of oceanic crust, is colliding with and sliding under the continental crust of the North American Plate. As this plate descends into the mantle seawater and other volatiles seep into the superheated mantle rocks, altering their chemistry and allowing them to melt despite the immense pressure. This molten rock, called magma rises through the crust, aided by cracks and emerges on the surface during volcanic eruptions. Material from these eruptions piles up into volcanic mountains.

How many people did mount vesuvius kill?

No way to tell accurately; definitely several thousand. Fortunately, there are actually eyewitness accounts of that disaster that survive, and we know about how many people lived in the nearby towns. However, these are estimates, and the eruption's effects happened to areas outside the towns of Pompeii and Hurculaneum as well, when Vesuvius erupted in 79. 5,000 might be fair number, but it's really just an educated guess.

What plate fault line or hot spot is Mt Rainier located near?

Mount Rainier is one of an enormous ring of volcanoes known as the Ring of Fire, which roughly encircles the Pacific Ocean in a horseshoe shape. More specifically, it is a member of the Cascade volcanic mountain range. The Cascade volcanoes are a chain of volcanoes running from Northern California in the United States of America to southern British Columbia, Canada fed by the subduction of the Juan de Fuca oceanic plate (which borders, but is distinct from the Pacific Plate by means of an oceanic ridge off the Pacific Coast) under the North American plate a few hundred miles to the west of the volcanoes.
