How many plates interact near Washington state?

Mountain were made by huge segments of the earth's crust also know as tectonic plate. Over millions of year of volcanic activity under the earths crust forced these plates to shift. When to plates meet, the force of the volcanic pressure and the to plates may be pushed upward and create mountains.
Tectonic plates interact at what?

What makes an earthquake to create a volcano that make it erupt?
the moving of the tectonic plates which makes the earths surface unstable which then causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
