    Why Mount St. Helens Has Been Erupting Continuously for Four Years

    Mount St Helens, a volcano long believed to be dormant in Washington State in the U.S., freaked people out back in 1980 when it suddenly erupted and spewed tons of lava and boiling mud into the air (as you can see in this picture).

As it erupts, it also unleashes constant small earthquakes in the areas nearby.

And he thinks he knows what's causing all the shakes. More »
