A 9.2 megathrust earthquake on the Cascadia Subduction Zone would not just rattle the Pacific Northwest, it would redraw the ...
Newly-released research led by the University of Washington (UW) showed that a feature scientists hypothesized was present along the Cascadia Subduction Zone is missing in places. What does that mean ...
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 ...
“The Cascadia Megathrust M9.0 Earthquake was selected as a scenario as it is currently one of the more likely earthquake ...
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – January 26 marked the 325th anniversary since the last earthquake struck the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Centuries later, the ancient quake has left clues for scientists to ...
For some volcanic arcs, the geochemistry of volcanic rocks erupting above subducted oceanic fracture zones is consistent with higher than normal fluid inputs to arc magma sources. Here we use ...
NEW DELHI: A recent study from scientists in Portugal has raised concerns about the future of the Atlantic Ocean. They have identified a subduction zone, known as the 'Ring of Fire', that could ...
A subduction zone occurs when two of the Earth's tectonic plates meet and one moves beneath the other. As the bottom plate continues, it moves downward and eventually, pressure and heat cause the ...
This study is led by Prof. Zhong-Hai Li (University of Chinese Academy of Sciences). The present solid Earth is actually active, with new plates generating in the mid-ocean ridges and some old plates ...
