May 17, 1980, was a quiet day in Silver Lake, Washington. If you had been there, you probably would have seen Mount St. Helens,

one of the state’s famous mountains. The mountain looked like a cone capped with snow. It rose from a valley of deep green trees and bright blue lakes. Mount St. Helens is volcanic. Scientists were watching the mountain carefully that spring. For two months, they recorded small earthquakes near the mountain. Steam spewed from its top. And yet, from a distance, the mountain looked picture-perfect. On May 18, 1980, an earthquake shook the mountain. The mountain’s white dome collapsed. Rocks and snow tore down the mountainside. The volcano erupted. A giant mushroom-shaped cloud of ash and steam rose into the sky. A river of hot lava flowed down the mountain, scorching acres of wildlife. Mudflows, made up of melted snow and debris, buried plants and trees. In some places, the mudflows were over 300 feet deep!

A. Why was Mount St. Helens famous?
