Convergent; the Cascade Range is a volcano/mountain, which is caused from a convergent plate boundary
I had the same question for my homework...
No volcano created the Cascade Mountains. Although some of the mountains in the range are volcanoes, the range itself was created by the collision between two tectonic plates.
Convergence and Uplift creates mountains.

Yes. Because the mountain ranges are formed from two plates pushing against each other and most earthquakes are formed because of the slipping of two tectonic plates.
Mountains are formed by plae tectonics. It happens when 2 plates collide and 1 plate is pushed up. The resulting upwards force makes a mountain range. The Rockies, Andes, and the Himalayas are all examples of this.
Mountains are uplifted as tectonic plates smash into each other or magma rises up from under volcanoes.
collision of tectonic plates
Mountain ranges move because tectonic plates are continuously moving
"Young" mountain ranges as well as earthquakes, volcanoes and tectonic plates tend to be located on or near the boundaries of tectonic plates.

When the earth's tectonic plates push against one another, the buildiing pressure causes the edges of the plates to rise, forming mountain ranges.
Along areas where tectonic plates are moving against one another forcing land upwards and creating mountain ranges along the edge of the plates.
Located atop three tectonic plates (North American, Pacific and Cocos Plates), Mexicois one of the most geologically active regions of Earth.mexico plateau and mountain ranges create 3 tectonic plates.
The plates are pushing together causing them to move up and form mountains
