The Cascade volcanoes form what is known as a continental volcanic arc. Off the west coast of the U.S. and Canada a section of Earth's oceanic crust is colliding with the North American Pate and sinking into the mantle beneath it. As it moves down it takes some seawater with it. This seawater seeps into the hot rock of the mantle, altering its chemistry and allowing some of it to melt. This magma then rises through the crust to erupt from volcanoes.
