Volcanoes

Order Description The eruption of Mount St. Helens was really the first well-observed (scientifically) major volcanic eruption. The science community learned quite a lot from this eruption, and in particular learned that many previously held ideas about volcanic eruptions were incorrect. That is of course the way the science advances, but Mount St Helens provides a good example of the advance of knowledge by studying a specific event. produce a brochure or equivalent information packet to be available at the Mount St Helens National Park Visitor Center that describes in a clear and interesting way, the new lessons that scientists learned from the eruption.
