	Mount Shasta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mount Shasta and Shastina from the Butte Valley (North-East)
		Mount Shasta, (formerly known as Mt. Sisson until 1922) a 14,179-foot (4,322 m) stratovolcano, is the second-highest peak in the Cascade Range and the highest peak in California outside of the Sierra Nevada [1].
		Shasta is mentioned in "Lost Legacy", a fictional short story by Robert Heinlein as the home of a group of men who are masters of psychic powers and who decide to teach the world their powers by enlisting Boy Scouts.

		The most significant advance in 20th century geology has been the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s.
		In geology, when an igneous intrusion cuts across a formation of sedimentary rock, it can be determined that the igneous intrusion is younger than the sedimentary rock.
		The principle becomes quite complex, however, given the uncertainties of fossilization, the localization of fossil types due to lateral changes in habitat (facies change in sedimentary strata), and that not all fossils may be found globally at the same time.

	Geology of Mount Shasta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Over time an ancestral Shasta stratovolcano was built to an unknown height but sometime between 300,000 to 360,000 the entire north side of the volcano collapsed, creating an enormous landslide, 6.5 mile³ (27 km³) in volume.
		The remains of the oldest of Shasta's four cones is now exposed at Seageants Ridge on the south side of the mountain.
		The last lavas to erupt from the vent were hornblende-pyroxene andesites with a hornblende dacite dome at its summit.

	Geology 208 Cascade Volcano Report - Mt. Shasta
		Shasta's volume of about 80 cubic miles was erupted during the last million or so years in outbursts that produce large numbers of lava flows, mostly composed of brown andesite and in its final stages of activity, ash falls.
		Mount Shasta has erupted, on the average, at least once per 800 years during the last 10,000 years, and about once per 600 years during the last 4,500 years.
		On the basis of its past behavior, Shasta is not likely to erupt large volumes of pumiceous ash in the future; areas subject to the greatest risk from air-fall tephra are located mainly east and within about 50 kilometers of the summit of the volcano.

	Is Mount Shasta a potentially dangerous volcano?
		Our studies tell us a lot about how Mount Shasta has behaved in the past, going back as far as an older volcano that was destroyed by an enormous landslide about 300,000 years ago and coming up to our own experiences of recent debris flows.
		Finally, we know that Mount Shasta is an active volcano—it erupted only about 200 years ago and has erupted many times in the past few thousand years.
		We can use the knowledge gained from our studies at Mount Shasta to estimate the probabilities that certain types of events will occur again in the near future.

		On September 23 and 25, Jennie and I attended the two three-hour lectures entitled "The Geology of Mount Shasta" taught by William Hirt, PhD, the geology professor at College of the Siskiyous (COS) in Weed.
		On the Saturday following the two lectures, Professor hirt conducted a nine-hour field trip completely encircling Mount Shasta with stops at nine sites to intimately explore a lava-tube cave; lava flows; volcanic domes; mud flows; igneous rocks; the indications of Mount Shasta's four major eruptive events; glaciation features; and a cross section of pyroclastic flows.
		By the time we had finished the lectures and the tour of the mountain our knowledge of Mount Shasta's geologic setting; the forces that created it; its eruptive history; and its potential volcanic hazards were well understood by every student.

	ICE, ERUPTIONS, AND AVALANCHES: DISTINGUISHING LAHAR ORIGINS WITH EXAMPLES FROM MOUNT SHASTA, CA
		Mount Shasta in northern California provides an ideal setting for studying lahars of three primary origins: climatic fluctuations, eruptions, and debris avalanche transformations.
		Deposits from an enormous debris avalanche which occurred ~ 350 ka on the north side of Mount Shasta have been recognized for years (Crandell, 1989), but there is evidence that this avalanche triggered lahars on the south flank of the mountain.
		A south-flank lahar similar in age to the avalanche contains large amounts of pumice, evidence that an eruption occurred prior to or coincident with the avalanche.
