Mount St. Helens Blog Post
- Humans interacted with the eruption because it killed 57 people. Another human interaction is that scientists shot lasers at the mountain so see how much it was growing. The last human interaction is that hundreds of trees were planted in hopes to rebuild the forest that was previously there
- I asked my dad what he remembered from the Mount St. Helens eruption. He was only 7 years old when it happened and from what he remembered he said that it was all over the news as hurricanes are today. He said that the smoke from the eruption was similar to the smoke we have in the summer from the forest fires. He remembers thinking that he had no idea that volcanoes were capable of erupting where he is from.
