	Pacific Mountain System
		The generally rugged, mountainous landscape of this province provides evidence of ongoing mountain-building.
		The Pacific Mountain System straddles the boundaries between several of Earth's moving plates—the source of the monumental forces required to build the sweeping arc of mountains that extends from Alaska to the southern reaches of South America.
		This province is subdivided into several subprovinces, including the active and sometimes deadly volcanoes of the Cascade Range and the young, steep mountains of the Pacific Border and the Sierra Nevada.

		The Pacific Mountain System straddles the boundaries between several of Earth's moving plates -- the source of the monumental forces required to build the sweeping arc of mountains that extends from Alaska to the southern reaches of South America.
		The crust broke into a series of north-south-trending valleys and mountain ranges -- the beginning of the Basin and Range province.
		The Cascades volcanoes define the Pacific Northwest section of the "Ring of Fire", a fiery array of volcanoes that rim the Pacific Ocean.

	Pacific Mountain System - Cascades volcanoes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Beneath the Cascades, a dense oceanic plate plunges beneath the North American Plate; a process known as subduction.
		Not far off the coast of the North Pacific lies a spreading ridge; a divergent plate boundary made up of a series of breaks in the oceanic crust where new ocean crust is created.
		On one side of the spreading ridge new Pacific Plate crust is made, then moves away from the ridge.
