Mt. Rainier is in the Cascade range of mountains that runs north-south from southern British Columbia in Canada to Northern California, along the western part of the North American tectonic plate.

When did Mt Rainier eruption?
Mount Rainier last erupted in 1894.Clarification:The last recorded volcanic eruption of Mt Rainer was between 1820 and 1854, but there have been many witnesses to further volcanic activity and rumblings in 1858, 1870, 1879, 1882 and 1894.
What type of fault is Mt Tambora?
Mt Tambora is on a Tectonic fault line called the Jave Trench System. Mt Tambora is an active stratovolcano. It is located in Indonesia.
How many times has Mt. Rainier erupted?
Mt. Rainier has erupted 11 confirmed times in the last 10,000 years. Most of these eruptions (8) are concentrated between 6500 and 4000 years ago. Since the eruption 2,200 years ago there has only been one recorded explosive eruption as identified and dated through airfall tephra and tree ring dating. This eruption was believed to be between 1820 and 1854 AD. For further information on the more distant geologic history and understanding of future risks from Mt. Rainier see related links to the Cascades Volcano Observatory.
Is Mt. Tambora constructive or destructive I need to know for my writing science project?
Mount Tambora is on a destructive plate boundary. This is because the australian plate is subducted underneath the Eurasian plate.
Where is Mount Saint Helens found in?

What tectonic plate is Mt Hood on?

What type of plate boundary created mt Rainier?
A convergent plate boundary is responsible for creating the volcano Mount Rainier. This volcano is located in Washington, near Seattle.
What plate boundary is mt rainier on?
Mount Rainier, Washington, isn't located on a divergent plate boundary but a convergent one. The Juan de Fuca Plate off the coast is pushing under the northern US and Canada, creating volcanism (such as Mt St Helens).
Which one is not a volcano formed by subduction Mt Fuji Mt Rainier The Himalayas or Krakatoa?
The Himalayas are not formed by subduction. They are the result of the Indian tectonic plate colliding with the Eurasian plate, causing the uplift of the mountain range. The other options (Mt. Fuji, Mt. Rainier, and Krakatoa) are associated with volcanic activity resulting from subduction processes.
Are there tapeworms at Mt Rainier national park?
NO there are no tapeworms at mt. rainier.
What is happening to the plates to form Mt Rainer?
Mount Rainier is being formed by the process of subduction, where the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate is diving beneath the North American plate. As the Juan de Fuca plate descends into the mantle, it melts and generates magma that rises to the surface, leading to the formation of the volcanic cone of Mount Rainier.
