Everything about The Intermontane Islands totally explained
The
Intermontane Islands were a giant chain of active
volcanic islands somewhere out in the
Pacific Ocean during the
Triassic time beginning around 245 million years ago. The giant chain of islands were 600 to 800 miles long and rode atop a microplate known as the
Intermontane Plate. Over early
Jurassic time the Intermontane Islands and the
Pacific Northwest drew closer together as the
continent moved west and the Intermontane Plate
subducted. Eventually about 180 million years ago in the Mid-Jurassic time the last of the Intermontane Plate subducted and the Intermontane Islands collided with the Pacific Northwest. The Intermontane Islands were simply too big to sink beneath the continent so the Intermontane Islands welded onto the continent. Geologists call the
ocean that existed between the Intermontane Islands and North America the
Slide Mountain Ocean.
