(Redirected from Coastal Range)A 'Coastal range' is any range of mountains forming a coastline.
★
North American examples are the coastal ranges of
Canada,
Mexico and the
U.S. states of
Oregon,
Washington, and
California, called the
Pacific Coast Ranges.
They are often created by
subduction of the nearby oceanic plate and typically contain active
volcanoes. The inland side of a coastal range may be in a
rain shadow.
