OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Anahim Volcanic Belt is a 600 km long volcanic belt, stretching from just north of Vancouver Island to near Quesnel, British Columbia, Canada. The Anahim Volcanic Belt has had three main magmatic episodes: 15-13 Ma, 9-6 Ma, and 3-1 Ma. The volcanoes generally become younger eastward at a rate of 2 cm to 3.3 cm a year. The Nazko Cone, which last erupted only 7,200 years ago, is the youngest Anahim volcano. These volcanoes are thought to have formed as a result of the North American Plate sliding westward over a long-lived center of upwelling magma called the Anahim hotspot. The hotspot is thought to be similar to the one feeding the Hawaiian Islands.
