∙ 9y agoThe volcanoes in Washington and Oregon are part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, which stretches from northern California to British Columbia. These volcanoes are associated with the Cascadia Subduction Zone, where two of Earth's tectonic plates meet. Here the small Juan de Fuca Plate, off the Pacific coast is colliding with and sliding under the North American Plate and into the mantle. The plate takes some seawater and other volatiles, which seep into the supeheated, semisolid rock in the mantle. This alters the chemistry, causing some rock to melt into magma. The magma then rises up through the crust, eventually erupting via volcanoes.
