Megathrust earthquakes occur when stress at subduction zones is released, causing significant plate slippage. These events disrupt long-term tectonic changes, complicating modeling efforts.

Aside from the danger they pose, such earthquakes disrupt the slow, long-term changes occurring at subduction zones. The cycle of sudden earthquakes and slow plate movement makes it difficult for ...

January 26 marked the 325th anniversary since the last earthquake struck the Cascadia subduction zone. Centuries later, the ...

With eruptions in 1998, 2011, and 2015, the volcano serves as a perfect laboratory, and experts expect an eruption by the end ...

Amid Earth’s mobile tectonic plates, subduction zones arise as regions of intense geological activity and concentrate minerals into ore deposits like gold.
