Mount St. Helens has been emitting steam and building crater structures since its 1980 eruption, and could have another large eruption in the future. Scientists have been trying to accurately measure the magma pool beneath the mountain and the surrounding area of the Cascades. In September and October, 2004, vented magma began forming a lava dome, replacing part of the mountaintop blown off on May 18, 1980. This process continued for nearly 4 years until July, 2008.

Why do volcanologist believe that mt st Helens will erupt again?
Volcanologists believe Mt. St. Helens will erupt again because it is an active volcano with a history of explosive eruptions. Monitoring data shows ongoing volcanic activity, such as earthquakes and deformation, indicating that the volcano is still active and building pressure beneath the surface. This suggests that another eruption is possible in the future.
Is Mount St. Helens going to erupt again?
Yes it is going to erupt in 2 months. I am a very smart scientist and I have been studying Mt. St. Helens since 1980 on it's first eruption. And my calculations say its going to erupt in 2 months. WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! EXCEPT CHINA! SAVE YOURSELVES!

Why is mt st helens called a volcano when it does not erupt?
It does erupt, just not all the time. Many volcanoes go through quiet periods of years and even centuries between eruptions. Mount St. Helens is known for a massive explosive eruption that ocurred on May 18, 1980. The volcano also produced a series of small eruptions from 2004 to 2008 and has since been quite. It will erupt again some day, though we do not know when.
