Mount Rainier is a volcanic landform, specifically an active stratovolcano, located in the state of Washington in the United States. It is the highest mountain in the state and is part of the Cascade Range.
The first recorded sighting of Mount Rainier was by Peter Rainier in 1792 during George Vancouver's expedition. However, the mountain was actually named after British Admiral Peter Rainier, rather than being discovered by him.
Mt. Rainier has had numerous eruptions in the past, with the most recent major eruption occurring approximately 1,000 years ago. It is considered an active volcano and continues to be monitored for signs of potential eruptive activity.
Mount Rainier has three glaciers.
Mt. Rainier has granitic and basaltic lava types. It is a stratovolcano or composite volcano. The volcano has 26 major glaciers and 36 snowfields on it. Also, it has a glacier cave network, the world's largest, made from the heat from two volcanic craters. Arelativelysmall crater lake sit on Mt. Rainier. The lake is the highest elevation lake in North America. This volcano has dangerous lahars, because of its many glaciers and river paths. The convergent boundary of the North American and Juan de Fuca plate caused Mt. Rainier to form.
An eruption of Mount Rainier could melt the glaciers at its summit and trigger a massive mudflow that could bury parts of Tacoma.
