NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Garibaldi Volcanic Belt

The Garibaldi Volcanic Belt is a north-south range of volcanoes in southwestern British Columbia. It is the northern extension of the Cascades Volcanic Belt in the United States (which includes Mount Baker). The Garibaldi Volcanic Belt includes the Bridge River Cones, Mount Cayley, Mount Fee, Mount Garibaldi, Mount Price, Mount Meager, Mount Silverthrone and the Squamish Volcanic Field.

The volcanoes are the result of subduction of the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate beneath the North American tectonic plate, and are generally stratovolcanoes.

	This is largely due to the fact that volcanic rocks are often rich in minerals such as potassium and decay easily.
	Volcanic debris, especially lahars, also have a leveling effect and the storage of water in the form of snow and ice is also important.
	Garibaldi Provincial Park includes Mount Garibaldi and the southern part of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt (although not technically part of the Cascade Range).
