called the Cascadia Subduction Zone, two pieces of the Earth’s crust slide against each other, building up stresses capable of unleashing a catastrophic 9.0-magnitude earthquake and generating a ...

1. Figure 1: Map of the northern Cascadia subduction zone showing the distribution of earthquakes in the subducting Juan de Fuca plate and the locations of seismic cross-sections. Green dashed line ...

“People can prepare [for a Cascadia Subduction Zone] earthquake, but the most important ... “We made evacuation maps for every community on the coast, and we have an online viewer and ...

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is capable of generating "megathrust" earthquakes with magnitudes of 9.0 or higher. Such an event, which last occurred over 300 years ago, could trigger a tsunami ...

The new bridge will be earthquake-ready, so crews are digging a 10-foot-wide, 125-foot-deep hole to see how concrete supports react during a simulated seismic event.

"We have the potential for earthquakes and tsunamis as large ... for the building codes and zoning." The map of the Cascadia Subduction Zone showed several interesting findings.

They’ll also build the system they’ll use to fake a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. "So in the steel reinforcement cage, we have what's called load cells and those are basically two-foot ...

Wildfires and hurricanes are dominating the disaster spotlight, but the threat of a massive earthquake still simmers beneath the surface in the Pacific Northwest. The National Science Foundation ...
