Inclusions of plutonic, metavolcanic and volcanic rocks are abundant in dacite pumice and lava from the 1980-1986 eruption sequence at Mount St. Helens. Point counts of inclusions exposed in talus blocks from the dome from 1980 through 1983 show that inclusions form approximately 3.5 vol.% of the lava. Eighty-five percent of the inclusions are medium-grained gabbros.

Applications at Mount St. Helens. Petrologic monitoring was used in both the 1980-1986 and 2004-2008 eruption periods at Mount St. Helens.. During the 1980-1986 eruption period, samples were collected during, or just after, explosive and lava dome eruptive events and the rocks were analyzed to determine changes in the chemical composition and extent of crystallization over time.

The eruption of Mt. St. Helens resulted in the deposition of one million trees in Spirit Lake. The original estimated proportion of floating trees was 40% Douglas fir, 22% Noble fir, 12% Western Hemlock, 12% Pacific Silver fir, 10% Western Red Cedar, 2% Alaska Yellow Cedar, and 2% others.

Mount St. Helens, located in Washington State, is the most active volcano in the Cascade Range, and it is the most likely of the contiguous U.S. volcanoes to erupt in the future. The volcano is almost 53 km (33 mi) due west of Mount Adams and approximately 80 km (50 mi) northeast of the Vancouver, Washington—Portland, Oregon metropolitan area.
