File Intermontane arc.png right The Intermontane Islands were a giant chain of active volcanic island s somewhere in the Pacific Ocean during the Triassic time beginning around 245 million years ago. They were 600 to convert 800 mi km 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 subduct ed. 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 , forming parts of British Columbia , Canada .

The Intermontane Plate was an ancient oceanic tectonic plate , that lay on the west coast of North America about 195 million years ago. The Intermontane Plate had a chain of volcanic island s called the Intermontane Islands . The Intermontane Islands had been accumulating as a volcanic chain in the Pacific Ocean since Triassic time, beginning around 245 million years ago. The volcanism records yet another subduction zone. Beneath the far edge of the Intermontane microplate, another plate called the Insular Plate was sinking. This arrangement with two parallel subduction zones is unusual. The modern Philippine Islands are located on the Philippine Mobile Belt , one of the few places on Earth where twin subduction zones exist today. Geologists call the ocean between the Intermontane islands and North America the Slide Mountain Ocean . The name comes from the Slide Mountain Terrane , a region made of rocks from the floor of the ancient ocean. The Intermontane Islands collide Over early Jurassic time, the Intermontane Islands and the Pacific Northwest drew closer together as the continent moved west and the Intermontane Microplate subducted. On the continent, subduction supported a new volcanic arc that again sent intruding granite type rocks into the ancient continental sediments. Eventually, about 180 million years ago in the middle Jurassic, the last of the microplate subducted, and the Intermontane Islands collided with the Pacific Northwest. The Intermontane Islands were too big to sink beneath the continent. The subduction zone of the Intermontane Plate shut down, ending the volcanic arc. As the Intermontane Belt accreted to the edge of the continent , the subduction zone of the Insular Plate became the active subduction zone along the edge of the continent.
