A subduction zone near Cascadia is unraveling piece by piece. The process offers a rare glimpse into how tectonic plates die and form new geological boundaries. With unprecedented clarity, researchers ...
The impact would be doubly as devastating as predictions for the impending ‘Big One’ and leave millions in harm’s way from ...
(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 structure ...
With unprecedented clarity, scientists have directly observed a subduction zone—the collision point where one tectonic plate ...
A recent study suggests the Cascadia subduction zone and the San Andreas fault may be synchronized, with seismic activity on ...
A new study suggests that the 'Big One' earthquake on the West Coast of the United States could actually be two separate earthquakes happening minutes apart ...
Scientists at Oregon State University say there's new evidence that two of the best-known earthquake fault lines on the West ...
Two fault systems on North America’s West Coast – the Cascadia subduction zone and the San Andreas fault – may be synchronized, with earthquakes on one fault potentially triggering seismic events on ...
SEATTLE — The threat of an earthquake at any given moment in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho is real. Right below our feet is the meeting place of multiple tectonic plates, slowly moving and pushing ...
Cascadia subduction zone and the San Andreas fault - may be synchronized, with earthquakes on one fault potentially ...
