What is the ecosystem?

An ecosystem is made up of all the living animals and plants and the non-living matter in a
particular place, like a forest or lake. All the living things in an ecosystem depend on all the
other things - living and non-living for continued survival - for food supplies and other needs.
NATURAL DISASTERS
Earthquakes: earthquake is a sudden shaking of the earth's surface that often causes a lot of
damage.
Flood: large amount of water covering an area that is usually dry.
Typhoons: Violent storms with wind
Fires: Flames
Volcano Eruptions: Explosions with emissions of smoke, ash and rocks
MOUNT SAINT HELENS

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, WashingtonPortland, Oregon metropolitan area. Volcanism occurs
at Mount St. Helens and other volcanoes in the Cascades arc due to subduction of the Juan de
Fuca plate off the western coast of North America.
Location of magma formation, accumulation, and storage beneath Mount St. Helens (locations
are inferred from scientific data).
Over its rich and complex 275,000-year history, Mount St. Helens has produced both
violent explosive eruptions of volcanic tephra and relatively quiet outpourings of lava. In the
beginning stages of eruptive activity, the volcano mostly consisted of a cluster of domes that
was surrounded by an apron of tephra and debris fans of fragmented volcanic rocks.
