Cascadia Range

The Cascadia Range refers to a series of mountain peaks and volcanic formations located in the Pacific Northwest, primarily in Oregon and Washington. This range includes the Cascade Mountains, which are part of the Pacific Ocean's volcanic arc, formed by tectonic plate movements. Known for iconic volcanoes like Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier, the Cascadia Range features rugged terrain, dense forests, and significant geological activity. It is a critical ecological and cultural region, shaped by volcanic eruptions and tectonic forces, and offers outdoor recreation, stunning scenery, and opportunities for scientific study of volcanic and geological processes.
