If the Gulf Islands are in the system, then it follows that the San Juans are too; they only thing distinguishing them is where the int'l boundary was drawn, they're otherwise virtually the same archipelago. And the Olympic Mountains - are they they same system as Vancouver Island? Skookum1 ( talk) 03:58, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I realize this is a question of the sources used, namely Canadian ones; are the US names for these belts the same - are they defined the same, in fact? As with geography/mountain range articles, there's no reason that the border should be a factor, other than maybe a name change from one side to the next; presumably geologists are coordinated in terms of their hard science, if not their nomenclature....

This goes to Physical geography and another geology-related term goes to List of physiogeographic regions, but that is a list of topopgraphic regions rather than geologic provinces. Much in the same way that " Insular Mountains" is a distinct concept from Insular Belt, the same is true of Intermontane Belt (geologic) and Interior System (which is geographic, and includes the Omineca Belt geologic province, or most of it). I don't know where to redirect the "physiogeological" link to just now, just wanted to note this for further discussion/elaboration; much in the same way as muddying/confusing topographic regions with ecoregions, muddyin geographic regions with geologic ones is "not on" and care has to be taken to distinguish them, and when necessary separate them....
