Vancouver island is off the west coast of canada, north of washington state. the island is divided by mountains, the vancouver island range. describe what the climate must be like on the west and east sides of the mountain range.

Vancouver Island is divided in two by the chain of Vancouver Island Ranges that cover it in its entirety. The highest point of this chain is the Golden Hinde, 2,195 meters high. The island's climate is among the mildest in all of Canada. In summer, maximum temperatures reach 30 ° C. The west coast is one of the most humid places in North America and, apart from some areas of Chile, one of the most humid regions in the world along with the equatorial territories. In the towns of Tofino and Ucluelet the average annual rainfall is 3300mm.

The eastern coast, especially in the southern part, has a quasi-Mediterranean climate with the driest summer season, and maximum temperatures reaching 30 ° C and minimum in the winter of -7 ° C.

Convergent movement between the Jalisco Block and the Rivera Plate best explains the pattern of volcanic activity and earthquakes on the Jalisco Block.

Explanation:

If one tectonic place slide over the another plate, then earth quake occurs in that region. this is because of Convergent movement which refers to the colliding movement of surfaces. When a continental plate comes in contact with an oceanic plate, the denser, and more flexible oceanic plate comes under the thicker, more rigid continental plate. With the passage of time these plates slide on one another and movement occurs which leads to earth quake. Based on the evidence I concluded that the pattern of volcanic activity and earthquakes on the Jalisco Block is due to Convergent movement.
