Geologists have discovered a second magma chamber beneath volcano They believe this feeds the smaller chamber directly below the mountain Earthquakes in the area may be a sign of magma pumping between them Geologists still consider Mount St Helens to be of high risk of erupting

Its scarred and jagged crater is a reminder of the terrible devastation that Mount St Helens wrought over the Washington countryside 35 years ago.

Now a new study of the volcanic plumbing lurking beneath the 8,363ft (2,459 metre) summit suggests the volcano could yet again blow its top in an explosive eruption.

Geologists studying the volcano, which is responsible for the most deadly eruption in US history, have discovered a second enormous magma chamber buried far beneath the surface.

This giant pool of molten rock, which lies between seven to 25 miles (40km) below the surface, is connected to a slightly smaller chamber that lies directly beneath the mountain.

The wall. Very good. I came very close to mentioning Trump and the wall.

You could also use the wall sections for low income housing.

And then of course there are lava rock saunas, lava rock grills, hot lava rock massages.

Sell pet lava rocks and pay off the national debt. (At least we’d have something for our money )

Portland State is the 15th most liberal college in America

My grandfather wanted my Dad to go to Portland State and he said No and Hell no!...He went to Oregon State (Corvallis) instead.

I worked for Tektronix, out of Beaverton, Oregon then.................in Atlanta................

We use it for work, mostly early estimates.

I’ve found I can measure a foundation or equipment and get within a foot of accuracy.

[Red Badger]

Does Google Earth allow you to measure straight line distances on a map, like ‘as the crow flies’?..............

[thackney]

Yes.

And you can download the Pro version for free now. It also does area and “crooked” path measurements.

Corvallis is every bit as crazy as Portland. I’m looking to move out in a year or two!

[Red Badger]

I’ll haveta try it!..................

Either that or we could pour it into blocks and build giant grain storage facilities. But some politician would just come along and use it as a grave and monument to himself.

HAHA!!
