Notes
^ The relationship of the Silverthrone complex with other volcanoes in the Cascade Volcanic Arc is not clear and remains uncertain.[ 1] However, it is still considered to be a member of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt, the Canadian portion of the Cascade Volcanic Arc formed by subduction of the Juan de Fuca Plate.[ 1] [ 2]
^ Like Silverthrone, the relationship of the Franklin Glacier Complex with other volcanoes in the Cascade Volcanic Arc is not clear and remains uncertain.[ 3] But it is still considered to be a member of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt, the Canadian portion of the Cascade Volcanic Arc formed by subduction of the Juan de Fuca Plate.[ 2] [ 3]
