CS: Mt St Helens María Alejandra Piazzolla Ramírez
Washington, USA (Cascade mountain range)
Destructive Plate boundary :
Oceanic plate (Juan de Fuca)
goes under the continental
plate (North American) because
it is more dense.
The oceanic plate moves down
the mantle where it melts,
forming a pool of magma.
The magma rises through cracks
in the crust, vents
During 3 months of seismic activity magma rose. However, there was a
blockage in the main vent so a large bulge grew in the north flank of the
volcano.
On May 18th 1980 an earthquake of 5.1 in the Richter scale caused a
landslide in the north flank, resulting in a huge release of pressure.
Effects:
-57 people died: psychological trauma
-Lava flows and ash filling in Spirit Lake
-Log jams and ash blocking the channel of the Toutle River
-This resulted in flooding
-Flooding washed away road and rail bridges: emergency vehicles can’t get
