Researchers found that a potential powerful earthquake combined with rising sea levels could lead to a mega tsunami.

When an earthquake rips along the Cascadia Subduction Zone fault, much of the U.S. west coast could shake violently for five minutes, and tsunami waves as tall as 100 feet could barrel toward shore.

(a) Geological units and earthquake distribution of an oceanic subduction zone. The orange shadow beneath the volcanic arc represents partially molten areas and magma channels. (b) Thermal ...

“The expansion of the coastal floodplain following a Cascadia subduction zone earthquake has not been previously quantified, and the impacts to land use could significantly increase the timeline ...

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A major earthquake waiting to strike the Cascadia Subduction Zone isn’t the only natural disaster looming in the Pacific Northwest, new research shows. A powerful quake ...

Here, we analyse seismic energy found as precursors to PP, which is scattered off small-scale heterogeneities related to subduction zones in the upper and mid-mantle. We use data from shallow ...

When an earthquake rips along the Cascadia Subduction Zone fault, much of the U.S. West Coast could shake violently for five minutes, and tsunami waves as tall as 100 feet could barrel toward shore.

One such place is the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a 1,000km (620 mile) long region which is considered a major earthquake and tsunami hazard zone. So where is the Cascadia Subduction Zone – and ...

A major Cascadia subduction zone earthquake is coming for the West Coast. During that earthquake, parts of California, Oregon and Washington could shake for up to five minutes, as the Juan de Fuca ...
