Magma rising in Washington state's Mount St. Helens volcano
By Eric M. Johnson
SEATTLE (Reuters) - Magma levels are slowly rebuilding inside Mount St.
Helens, a volcano in Washington state that erupted in 1980 and killed 57
people, although there was no sign of an impending eruption, U.S.
scientists said.
The roughly 8,300-foot volcano erupted in an explosion of hot ash and
gas on May 18, 1980, spewing debris over some 230 square miles and
causing more than a billion dollars in property damage. Entire forests
were crushed and river systems altered in the blast, which began with a
5.2 magnitude earthquake.
"The magma reservoir beneath Mount St. Helens has been slowly
re-pressurizing since 2008," the U.S. Geological Survey said in a
statement on Wednesday. "It is likely that re-pressurization is caused
by (the) arrival of a small amount of additional magma 4 to 8 km (2.5 to
5 miles) beneath the surface."
The USGS said this is to be expected with an active volcano and does not
indicate "the volcano is likely to erupt anytime soon."
The USGS, and the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network at University of
Washington, closely monitor ground deformation and seismicity at the
volcano. This summer, they will also measure its released gases and
gravity field, measurements that can be used to monitor subsurface magma
and forecast eruptions.
