Cascades Mountain Range
The Cascade Mountain Range is a group of volcanic mountains located in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, extending from northern California to southern British Columbia, Canada. It includes notable peaks like Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Hood. The range is known for its stunning landscapes and diverse ecosystems, featuring lush forests and volcanic terrain. The Cascade Range was formed by tectonic activity, with the Pacific Plate colliding with the North American Plate, leading to volcanic eruptions. It plays a crucial role in the region's climate and ecology, influencing weather patterns and providing water resources.
