Beautiful Mount Lassen
In this essay I will talk about Mt. Lassen and all it's different features. I will focus on four different features. I will tell you why this is a geographic site that everyone should see at least once in there life. First, I will tell you about the Native Americans that lived in and around the mountain, second I will tell you about the European influences to the mountain, third I will tell you about the volcanic activity and last I will talk about the The Native Americans lived in the Lassen Peak area thousands of years ago. Prehistoric Indians had crossed the over between Asia and North America during the ice ages as long as 70,000 years ago. There were about 103 separate tribes speaking 21 different languages in California during the 18th century, before Europeans arrived. Archaeological surveys indicate that the Lassen Park area was used regularly by the Native people who lived and work sites have been found throughout the park. A relatively large tribe called the Maidu, which are still around today, filled large areas on the east and south side of the park in a meadows area that is now lies beneath Lake
" It was later changed to "Mount Saint Joseph" in 1841 by a U. "(Lassen)There are three major volcanic centers in and near Lassen Volcanic National Park, each of which began with brutal explosions and thin lavas that created a large composite volcano. Lava and ashes from 1-2 feet deep extended out for about 200 feet surrounding the crater. The water reaches a tempeture of 465 degrees, causing boiling with an increased pressure which forms a steam and gas reservoir over the hot water. During the late 1800s the Yana and Yani peoples were destroyed in fights with white settlers over land in the Central Valley. This intense pressure causes the super-heated (above the boiling point) water to rise back towards the surface as steam, boiling water, super-heated fumaroles, acid-sulfate hot springs, and bubbling mudpots. It was active about two million years ago and was a large composite volcano similar to Mt. Active volcanism is evident in the boiling waters, bubbling mud pots, and hissing steam vents that are still present today. ent their winters along Hat Creek and in Hat Creek Valley. Very little remains of these two Native American tribes; however, the powerful story of "Ishi," the last survivor of the Yahi people, became a well-publicized story and TV movie which tells the story of the last "free" Native American in the United States (Lassen). This heat and water lead to melting of the rocks in the mantle and continental plates, eventually causing huge, unstable pools of magma that lie miles underground and inland from the coast. A cavity of molten or partially molten magma that lies 6-12 miles below the surface of Lassen Peak is responsible for the most extensive geothermal system in the Cascade Range.
