Question 2. The Salal Glacier Volcanic Complex was formed during the Ancestral Cascades, Pacific NW US. Mount Baker is a volcano of the modern Cascades. Salal Glacier and Mt Baker are separated by ~0.5 million years of time. Did the source of the mantle melt for these two areas change during that 0.5 my of time? Explain your reasoning, and use the trace element and stable isotope data as evidence in support of your claim.
