The Aftermath

The book explores Mt. Hood, Oregon's tallest mountain at 11,239 feet, and its significant geological context as part of the Ring of Fire. This vast region, characterized by its horseshoe shape, spans 40,000 km and is home to 452 volcanoes. Notably, 81% of the world's largest earthquakes originate from this area, highlighting the dynamic and often perilous nature of the Pacific basin. Through this lens, the book delves into the interplay between Mt. Hood's majestic presence and the powerful geological forces surrounding it.
