The Geology of Washington State

Why Geology? The fundamental base (particlularly in this region) for climate, weather, soils, biology, topography, etc… As such, it has major implications on the “human” characteristics/use of the basin.

Pre 100ma

~50ma

Western Cascades Volcanism Up to ~25ma

Topography. Note OWL.

Glacial Lake Missoula 16000 years ago Ice dam broke Massive flooding, erosion, and deposition

And the Wrapup Geology is key to understanding the region: Weather and climate Biology, landuse, agriculture, etc Hazards and risk Volcanos Earthquakes Land/mudslides Flooding Mining Logging (plant distributions, accessibility)
