Climbing in the Cascades ranges in difficulty from a non-technical hike, like on South Sister, to a technical climb on Mount Baker in which an ice axe, crampons, and experience are needed.\r\n<h2>Convergent Plate Boundaries<\/h2>\r\nConverging plates can be oceanic, continental, or one of each. If both are continental they will smash together and form a mountain range. If at least one is oceanic, it will subduct. A subducting plate creates volcanoes.\u00a0Locations with converging in which at least one plate is oceanic at the boundary have volcanoes.\r\n<h3>Melting<\/h3>\r\nMelting at convergent plate boundaries has many causes. The subducting plate heats up as it sinks into the mantle. Also, water is mixed in with the sediments lying on top of the subducting plate. As the sediments subduct, the water rises into the overlying mantle material and lowers its melting point. Melting in the mantle above the subducting plate leads to volcanoes within an island or continental arc.\r\n<p id=\"x-ck12-YmJkZTE1NTJmZmUyZmQ0NWE5NDIwZDIwZDg1MjhmMGM.-gfk\">Why does melting occur at convergent plate boundaries? The subducting plate heats up as it sinks into the mantle. Also, water is mixed in with the sediments lying on top of the subducting plate. This water lowers the melting point of the mantle material, which increases melting. Volcanoes at convergent plate boundaries are found all along the Pacific Ocean basin, primarily at the edges of the Pacific, Cocos, and Nazca plates. Trenches mark subduction zones, although only the Aleutian Trench and the Java Trench appear on the map in\u00a0figure 1.<\/p>\r\n<p id=\"x-ck12-OTZiMjQxZmIxOTM0MzQ4YjhmYWFkYWUyNmVmY2E0NWY.-gjd\">Remember your plate tectonics knowledge. Large earthquakes are extremely common along convergent plate boundaries. Since the Pacific Ocean is rimmed by convergent and transform boundaries, about 80% of all earthquakes strike around the Pacific Ocean basin (the ring of fire). Why are 75% of the world\u2019s volcanoes found around the Pacific basin? Of course, these volcanoes are caused by the abundance of convergent plate boundaries around the Pacific.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_2167\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<img class=\"wp-image-2167\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/courses-images\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/115\/2016\/06\/06213556\/Figure9_2_2.jpg\" alt=\"Map of volcanoes on the Cascade Range\" width=\"300\" height=\"446\" \/> Figure 1.
