Read the passage. Before the eruption of Mount St. Helens, a bulge of rock formed on the northern side of the mountain. Then, early on May 18th, an earthquake occurred that was caused by increasing pressure inside the mountain. This led to a landslide. The force of the landslide collapsed the entire northern side of the mountain, which led to a lateral blast. Lateral blasts occur when volcanos erupt sideways, rather than at the peak. This lateral blast sent rocks flying for miles at high speeds. These blasts destroy forests, buildings, and other structures in a short amount of time. The lateral blast at Mount St. Helens destroyed an area of about 150 square miles. It destroyed forests and left debris in three-inch layers, making it more disastrous.
