The Cascadia Subduction Zone is capable of generating powerful earthquakes. The study found compact sediments along the coast of Washington and northern Oregon, a result that suggests that the ...

The modern understanding of the plate tectonic cycle predicts that remnants of submerged plates will be found near subduction zones. However, a new high-resolution model shows that these remnants ...

Sebastian Noe / ETH Zurich Previously, submerged plates have only ever been found in subduction zones, making this an ... of seismic stations, receiver locations and seismic wave speed anomalies ...

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 ...

Subduction zones are locations on Earth where one tectonic plate dives below the other, and are known for powerful seismic activity. Earth's lithosphere (its outermost shell) is formed of around ...

The Shallow Underwater Buoy for Geodesy (SUBGEO) system is a research partnership between the USF School of Geosciences, the ...

The Pacific Northwest is at risk for a mega-earthquake because of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The region is primed for powerful quakes, with a particularly strong one called the Big One ...

The Cascadia Subduction Zone gets less press but has the most ... seismic event within the next 20-30 years. This map shows locations of earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or larger.

are the locations of both the 2.4 and particularly 5.0 earthquakes that struck yesterday: the larger earthquakes location ...

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

The Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center (CRESCENT), a research project focused on the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ), was established in 2023 following a $15 million grant from the National Scie ...
