But before that, Shastina, along with the then forming Black Butte dacite plug dome complex to the west, created numerous pyroclastic flows that covered 43 sq mi (110 km 2), including large parts of what is now Mount Shasta, California and Weed, California. Diller Canyon (400 ft or 120 m deep and 0.25 mi or 400 m wide) is an avalanche chute ...

Amboy Crater is a dormant cinder cone volcano that rises above a 70-square-kilometer (27 sq mi) lava field in the eastern Mojave Desert of southern California, within Mojave Trails National Monument.
The volcanoes seem to share a common feeder dyke. This dyke may be connected to deep-seated extensional processes [38] along a transform fault that links the San Andreas Fault to the Gulf of California. [9] The source of heat for the volcanoes and geothermal field is unclear: both deep mafic and shallow felsic sources have been proposed. [33]
Lassen Peak (/ ˈ l æ s ə n / LASS-ən), [3] commonly referred to as Mount Lassen, is a 10,457 ft (3,187 m) lava dome volcano in Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California.
It is also the southernmost non-extinct volcano of the Cascade Range (specifically, the Shasta Cascade part of the range). The 10,457 ft (3,187 m) tall volcano sits on the north-east flank of the remains of Mount Tehama, a stratovolcano that was a thousand feet (305 m) higher than Lassen and 11 to 15 mi (18 to 24 km) wide at its base.
