Detailed explanation-1: -The May 18, 1980, eruption left a seared and smoldering landscape around Mount St. Helens. Entire forests were toppled by the hot blast. Most plants and animals perished, meadows were destroyed, and numerous new ponds and lakes were created.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dwight “Rocky” Crandell, one of the geologists who correctly predicted that Mount St. Helens would erupt, died April 6 at a Wheat Ridge hospice.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mount St. Helens had been relatively quiet for a week, but on April 19, 1980, scientists issued a warning. They had noticed “great amounts of ground shaking and avalanching caused by local earthquakes.” They also saw evidence that heat was causing the snow and ice to melt faster than usual.
