The Cascade Mountain range was formed by pressure from the collision of the Juan De Fuca plate and the North American plate. The Juan De Fuca plate is constantly being pushed into and under the North American plate which pushes up the North American plate where the Cascades are.

hi well a mountain is formed by the moving plates underground. when the plates meet and push against each other and make a mountain.

The Cascade mountain rage formed by the Juan de Fuca plate colliding with the North American plate. The Juan de Fuca is constantly being pushed into and under the North American plate which is causing the North American plate to be pushed upwards. This is the Cascades.
The Cascade Volcanoes (also known as the Cascade Volcanic Arc or the Cascade Arc) are a number of volcanoes in a volcanic arc in western North America, extending from southwestern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California, a distance of well over 700 mi (1,100 km). The arc has formed due to subduction along the Cascadia subduction zone.
Western Cascades: These mountains formed roughly 40 million years ago as a chain of volcanoes on the then-coastline of Oregon. By 500,000 years ago, the magma had shifted eastward to form the younger High Cascades. The Western Cascades have since undergone erosion from the enormous amounts of precipitation that fall there each year. As a result, this range's elevation is now no higher than 5800 feet.
High Cascades: This range formed 3.5 million years ago and is active to this day, with the most recent volcanic eruption of Mt. Hood happening in 1865. The High Cascades contain six active volcanoes: Mt Hood (11240 ft), Three Sisters (10047 - 10363 ft), Crater Lake (8159 ft), and Newberry Crater(7989 ft). Extensive lava fields can be found throughout this mountain range, many of them young enough to be devoid of plant life.
The Cascade Mountain Range is around 1,300 miles long, spanning a large distance from southern Canada to northern California, practically a dividing line for Washington and Oregon.
The Cascades began forming roughly 37 million years ago.

The rain clouds dump there moisture as the cross over the high Cascade mountain range, in the form of rain or snow.
California is very mountainous. There are the Klamath Mountains, the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, and the Cascade Mountain Range.

The Cascade Range
The Cascade Mountain Range consists of both active and dormant volcanoes. These mountains are the site of Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier.

The Cascade Mountain Range of Washington, Oregon, and California formed by magma erupting onto Earthβs surface, and then hardening, forming a volcanic mountain.
