Geology

The Oregon landscape has been shaped by plate tectonics and millions of years of volcanic activity. Visitors will find many opportunities to examine the scenic geology and see and collect samples of minerals, rocks, and fossils.

Oregon can be divided into nine geologic provinces, each with outstanding geologic scenery.
