From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pemberton Volcanic Belt is an eroded Miocene volcanic belt at a low angle near Mount Meager, British Columbia, Canada. The Garibaldi and Pemberton volcanic belts appear to merge into a single belt, although the Pemberton is older then the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt. The Silverthrone Caldera, a dissected caldera complex farther to the northwest, was episodically active during both Pemberton and Garibaldi stages of volcanism. The belt is one of the northern extensions of the Cascade Volcanic Arc. It formed as a result of subduction of the Explorer Plate to its west, which is a remnant of the much larger Farallon Plate.
