The East Pacific Rise spreads at a rate of roughly 5 centimeters per year. This spreading occurs due to tectonic plate movement, where new oceanic crust is created as magma rises up from the mantle at the mid-ocean ridges.

The west side of Oregon's Cascade Mountains receives more precipitation due to the moist ocean air blowing in from the Pacific Ocean. As this air rises and cools, it releases moisture in the form of rain. In contrast, the east side of the mountains is in a rain shadow, meaning the air has already released much of its moisture on the western side, resulting in drier conditions on the eastern side.

The first transcontinental railroad basically connected the east and the west of the United States.
