Felsite Peak is an eroded volcanic outcrop in the Wrangell Volcanic Field, Yukon Territory, Canada, located 54 km south of Silver City, 8 km southwest of Snowshoe Peak and 30 km east of Pinnacle Peak. In topography a summit is a point on a surface which is higher in Elevation than all points immediately adjacent to Yukon (ˈjuːkɒn is the westernmost and smallest of Canada's three territories.

Country to "Dominion of Canada" or "Canadian Federation" or anything else please read the Talk Page Felsite Peak was named after Felsite Creek and has a triple summit on the east side of the Disappointment Glacier and at the head of Felsite Creek. It formed as a result of melting of the crust, due to subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate and last erupted during the Pliocene. In Geology, a crust is the outermost solid shell of a planet or moon In Geology, a subduction zone is an area on Earth where two tectonic plates meet and move towards one another with one sliding underneath the other The Pacific Plate is an oceanic Tectonic plate beneath the Pacific Ocean. The North American Plate is a Tectonic plate covering most of North America, Greenland and part of Siberia. The Pliocene epoch (spelled Pleiocene in some older texts is the period in the Geologic timescale that extends Like most volcanoes in the Yukon, it is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, that includes over 160 active volcanoes.
