Caption: Laser beams keep watch on Mount St. Helens. Using a laser beam aimed at the smoldering Mount St. Helens in southern Washington, U.S. Geological Survey scientists have detected ground movement in a northerly direction of about 1/2-inch per day inside the volcano during early September, 1980. The ground movement, according to the scientists, can be caused by the movement of magma or a relaxation of the monitored area to a temporarily more stable position. The laser distance measuring device is approximately 5 miles away from the volcano where a signal receiving unit, using material similar to that used on highway signs, reflects the signal back to the sending unit, where changes in the distance are computed....
