Description:
In this final slide, you can see the present configuration of the western edge of NA. Arc volcanism continues in the Cascades above the subduction zone there. A hot-spot impinging on the crust has created the volcanism in the Snake River Plain that migrated eastward and presently drives deformation and high heat flow in and around Yellowstone.
