The moon, thought to be cold and dead, is still alive and kicking—barely. Scientists have found evidence for dozens of burps of volcanic activity, all within Thegeology of the Cascade Range varies between its northern and southern sections. Although the northern section does contain some notable volcanoes, the mountains do not have a volcanic origin. On the other hand, the southern section of the Cascades, including the High Cascades, was formed as a result of volcanic activity. Indonesiahas 118 Holocene volcanoes.
