Sadly, 57 people died, it also destroyed over $1 billion dollars in property, and permanently altered the local ecosystem. As seen in the three images of Mt. St. Helen’s below. The picture shows what the mountain looked like before the eruption, and the picture on the right shows what the mountain looked like after the eruption. Identify if this phenomenon is fast changes to the Earth’s surface or slow changes (thinking of geological time scale).

As streams travel, they break down and/or erode sediment from the rocks on their banks. The running water picks up and transports the sediments further downstream. Pictured above is the San Juan River in Southeastern Utah. The twist and turns have been created over millions of years as water, wind, frost, and gravity have cut 1,000 feet into Earth’s crust. Identify if the following phenomenon is a fast change to Earth’s surface or a slow change.
