PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A new study mapping the Cascadia Subduction Zone is giving scientists clues about the state of the fault line as the Pacific Northwest awaits a potentially catastrophic ...
The Pacific Northwest is known for its towering trees, beautiful landscapes and breathtaking coast. But what sits about 70 miles off that coast, and anywhere from 300 to 10,000 ft below the ocean's ...
Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives underneath another, drive the world’s most devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. How do these danger zones come to be? A study in Geology presents ...
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, ...
It’s the 323rd anniversary of the last Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. We spend a fair amount of time thinking about the ‘Big One’ (and the ‘Really Big One’) in the Pacific Northwest. Today is ...
Groundbreaking research has provided new insight into the tectonic plate shifts that create some of the Earth's largest earthquakes and tsunamis. Groundbreaking research has provided new insight into ...
L'observation inédite d'un processus géologique majeur se déroule actuellement au large des côtes nord-américaines. Pour la première fois, une équipe scientifique a documenté la fragmentation ...
A budding subduction zone offshore of Spain heralds the start of a new cycle that will one day pull the Atlantic Ocean seafloor into the bowels of the Earth, a new study suggests. Understanding how ...
L'ouest américain serait sous la menace de séismes en cascade © Sasa Kadrijevic, Adobe Stock Et si les grands séismes de la côte ouest américaine étaient liés ...
Our planet's lithosphere is broken into several tectonic plates. Their configuration is ever-shifting, as supercontinents are assembled and broken up, and oceans form, grow, and then start to close in ...
Sleeping subduction zone could awaken and form a new 'Ring of Fire' that swallows the Atlantic Ocean
A modeling study suggests a slumbering subduction zone below the Gibraltar Strait is active and could break into the Atlantic Ocean in 20 million years' time, giving birth to an Atlantic "Ring of Fire ...
