who was president when mt st helens erupted Jimmy Carter where is this mountain located? Skamania County, Washington, United States. on what date did it erupt in the year 1980? May 18, 1980 what are some of the materials released from this eruption? The eruption was preceded by a two-month series of earthquakes and steam-venting episodes, caused by an injection of magma at shallow depth below the volcano that created a large bulge and a fracture system on the mountain's north slope. how many people died due to this event? 57 what were the damages caused due to this event? It caused the entire weakened north face to slide away, creating the largest landslide recorded. This allowed the partly molten, high-pressure gas- and steam-rich rock in the volcano to suddenly explode northwards toward Spirit Lake in a hot mix of lava and pulverized older rock, overtaking the avalanching face. what impact did it have in the neighbouring areas or in the neighbouring countries after this eruption? An eruption column rose into the atmosphere and deposited ash in 11 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. At the same time, snow, ice and several entire glaciers on the volcano melted, forming a series of large lahars that reached as far as the Columbia River were they any eruptions that took place after that year? Through early 1990, at least twenty-one periods of eruptive activity had occurred. can you tell me the names of any lakes or rivers located close to this mountain?

Washington (state) [SEP] Climate
As described above, Washington's climate varies greatly from west to east. A Mediterranean Climate predominates in western Washington, and a much drier semi-arid climate prevails east of the Cascade Range. Major factors determining Washington's climate include the large semi-permanent high pressure and low pressure systems of the north Pacific Ocean, the continental air masses of North America, and the Olympic and Cascade mountains. In the spring and summer, a high pressure anticyclone system dominates the north Pacific Ocean, causing air to spiral out in a clockwise fashion. For Washington, this means prevailing winds from the northwest bring relatively cool air and a predictably dry season.
