__The Science __ A Volcano is a mountain that opens down to a pool of molten rock below the surface of our Planet Earth. Volcanoes that are active in the USA are found in Hawaii, Alaska, California, Oregon, and Washington. When pressure bulids up eruptions come. Gases and rock shoot up very fast through the opening and spill over. Because the pressure builds up, and the volcano explodes. __Recent Eruptions __ ==There was recently and eruption in Sinabung, Indonesia on August 29, of 2010. This happened because Indonesia is in a volcanic region. 21,000 people had evacuate because the gases were strong that were coming out of the volcano. This volcano spewed lava and sand a little over a mile high into the air. This volcano was so strong and long lasting it killed 1 person because he/she had trouble breathing because of the ash coming out. This volcano was dormant for 400 years. ==

Historical Event Mount St.Helens is located in southwestern Washington State, about 50 miles from Portland, Oregon. In the spring of 1980 there was some earthquakes and that made everything change. On May 18 of that year, there was a series of earthquakes then came 1 or 2 thunderous explosins. Mount St.Helens began to spew forth ash and steam everywhere. There were avalanches of snow and ice, darkend by ash. For two months after the volcano continued to be active. This volcano was the worst volcanic disaster in US history. Mean while when the disaster was happening 57 people were killed and over 100,000 small animals were killed and over 7,000 large animals were killed. The animals were killed by the ash, smoke and lava, they couldn't breath. This volcano crushed all houses and buildings (ect.) 200-square miles area. Mount St.Helens is now only 8,363 feet tall that is 1,314 shorter than it was before the explosion.
