significant volcanic eruptionCNN

Mount Rainier has not produced a significant volcanic eruption in the past 1,000 years .
Scientists fear the prospect of a lahar — a swiftly moving slurry of water and volcanic rock rapidly melted by an eruption that picks up debris as it flows through valleys and drainage channels.
The deadliest lahar in recent memory was in November 1985 when Colombia ’s Nevado del Ruiz volcano erupted.
Mount Rainier’s cousin Mount St. Helens triggered a devastating lahar when it erupted four decades ago .
The US Geological Survey set up an lahar detection system in 1998 , which since 2017 has been upgraded and expanded.
The system is geared toward detecting a lahar should the volcano wake up in the future and the specific scenario of a landslide.
