The 25 pages that link to Cascade Range, each with the reason it gives.

• Orographic precipitationBroader topic: Pacific moisture produces heavy windward precipitation and a pronounced lee-side dry zone.

• Volcanic arcBroader topic: Its volcanoes form above the Juan de Fuca Plate's subduction beneath North America.

• Orographic liftBroader topic: Moist Pacific air rises over the Cascades, producing heavy windward precipitation and a drier interior.

• Pacific NorthwestRelated: The Cascades form a major divide between the region’s coastal and interior climates.

• Mantle wedgeBroader topic: A slow, cool subduction zone where a thin, weakly heated wedge still feeds Mount St. Helens.

• North American CordilleraBroader topic: Its volcanoes mark the Cordillera’s active volcanic belt in the Pacific Northwest.

• Mount RainierNarrower topic: Rainier is the range’s highest summit.

• OregonRelated: The range divides Oregon’s wetter western side from its drier interior.

• Columbia River GorgeNarrower topic: The gorge’s formation is tied to the uplift and volcanic history of this range.

• Mount HoodNarrower topic: Mount Hood rises within the Oregon section of this volcanic mountain chain.

• Columbia PlateauCompared with: Its steep volcanic terrain contrasts with the plateau’s broad, basalt-built interior.

• Mount ShastaNarrower topic: Shasta’s regional prominence comes partly from its position among the Cascades’ volcanic peaks.

• Mountain formationBroader topic: Its volcanoes illustrate mountain construction above a subduction zone.

• Washington (state)Related: The range divides Washington into a wet western side and a drier eastern side.

• Crater Lake National ParkNarrower topic: The park’s volcano belongs to this active volcanic mountain chain.

• Mount Rainier National ParkNarrower topic: Rainier is one of the range’s prominent volcanoes, shaped by its regional tectonic setting.

• Northern CaliforniaRelated: Its southern reach shapes the region's northeastern landscapes.

• Pacific Coast RangesBroader topic: Its volcanoes form a prominent inland arc beside the coastal ranges.

• Picea engelmanniiRelated: Engelmann spruce grows at high elevations in parts of the Cascades.

• Abies proceraRelated: Its high-elevation forests form a core part of noble fir's native range.

• American CordilleraBroader topic: Unlike the whole cordillera, this is one volcanic range within it.

• Cascade VolcanoesNarrower topic: The volcanic chain lies within this broader mountain system, which also includes nonvolcanic terrain.

• EugeneRelated: The Cascades rise east of Eugene and shape its regional geography and outdoor access.

• Glacier PeakNarrower topic: Glacier Peak rises within the volcanic and glaciated terrain of the North Cascades.

• North CascadesNarrower topic: The North Cascades form the range’s northern, especially rugged section.
