Index Tuber Hill

Tuber Hill is a small 600,000-year-old basaltic stratovolcano that was constructed on the Bridge River highlands when nearby valleys were packed with ice.[1]

Basalt

Basalt is an aphanitic (fine-grained) extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of low-viscosity lava rich in magnesium and iron (mafic lava) exposed at or very near the surface of a rocky planet or moon.

See Tuber Hill and Basalt

Bridge River

The Bridge River is an approximately long river in southern British Columbia.

See Tuber Hill and Bridge River

Bridge River Cones

The Bridge River Cones, sometimes referred to as the Lillooet Cones and Salal Creek Cones, is the name given to a volcanic field located on the north flank of the upper Bridge River, about west of the town of Gold Bridge. Tuber Hill and Bridge River Cones are Garibaldi Volcanic Belt, Pacific Ranges, Pleistocene British Columbia, Pleistocene volcanoes and volcanoes of British Columbia.

British Columbia

British Columbia (commonly abbreviated as BC) is the westernmost province of Canada.

See Tuber Hill and British Columbia

Canadian Cascade Arc

The Canadian Cascade Arc, also called the Canadian Cascades, is the Canadian segment of the North American Cascade Volcanic Arc. Tuber Hill and Canadian Cascade Arc are Pacific Ranges.

Cascade Range

The Cascade Range or Cascades is a major mountain range of western North America, extending from southern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California.

See Tuber Hill and Cascade Range

Cascade Volcanoes

The Cascade Volcanoes (also known as the Cascade Volcanic Arc or the Cascade Arc) are a number of volcanoes in a volcanic arc in western North America, extending from southwestern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California, a distance of well over. Tuber Hill and Cascade Volcanoes are Pacific Ranges and volcanoes of British Columbia.

Garibaldi Volcanic Belt

The Garibaldi Volcanic Belt is a northwest–southeast trending volcanic chain in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains that extends from Watts Point in the south to the Ha-Iltzuk Icefield in the north. Tuber Hill and Garibaldi Volcanic Belt are Pacific Ranges.

List of volcanoes in Canada

List of volcanoes in Canada is an incomplete list of volcanoes found in Mainland Canada, in the Canadian islands and in Canadian waters.

National Topographic System

The National Topographic System or NTS is the system used by Natural Resources Canada for providing general purpose topographic maps of the country.

See Tuber Hill and National Topographic System

Pacific Ranges

The Pacific Ranges are the southernmost subdivision of the Coast Mountains portion of the Pacific Cordillera.

See Tuber Hill and Pacific Ranges

Pleistocene

The Pleistocene (often referred to colloquially as the Ice Age) is the geological epoch that lasted from to 11,700 years ago, spanning the Earth's most recent period of repeated glaciations.

See Tuber Hill and Pleistocene

Stratovolcano

A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, is a conical volcano built up by many layers (strata) of hardened lava and tephra.

See Tuber Hill and Stratovolcano

Volcanism of Canada

Volcanic activity is a major part of the geology of Canada and is characterized by many types of volcanic landform, including lava flows, volcanic plateaus, lava domes, cinder cones, stratovolcanoes, shield volcanoes, submarine volcanoes, calderas, diatremes, and maars, along with less common volcanic forms such as tuyas and subglacial mounds.

See Tuber Hill and Volcanism of Canada

Volcanism of Western Canada

Volcanism of Western Canada has produced lava flows, lava plateaus, lava domes, cinder cones, stratovolcanoes, shield volcanoes, greenstone belts, submarine volcanoes, calderas, diatremes and maars, along with examples of more less common volcanic forms such as tuyas and subglacial mounds.
