Unravelling The Dance Of Earthquakes - Evidence Of Partial Synchronization Of The Northern San Andreas Fault And Cascadia Megathrust

“Previous paleoseismic work has suggested a possible stress triggering relationship between the Cascadia subduction zone and the northern San Andreas fault based on similar event timings. Turbidite successions correlated to both systems may support this hypothesis. Historic earthquakes in 1980 and 1992 in the Cascadia subduction zone and the 1906 earthquake on the northern San Andreas fault left turbidite records that are temporally well constrained by bomb-carbon−supported age-depth models..."

Algorithm raises new questions about Cascadia earthquake record

The Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest has a history of producing powerful and destructive earthquakes that have sunk forests and spawned tsunamis that reached all the way to the shores of Japan.

'The difference between alarming and catastrophic': Cascadia megafault has 1 especially deadly section, new map reveals

The Cascadia subduction zone is more complex than researchers previously knew. The new finding could help scientists better understand the risk from future earthquakes.

A Neighborhood Emergency Team (NET) online training on sanitation happily titled, “You Survive the Earthquake But Die of Dysentery,” was presented by a Portland NET member and physician, Merilee Karr, who began “Those involved with sanitation following a catastrophic event will be more likely to save more lives than the rescue and medical team.” That got our attention.

Yeah, I probably have to eat my words. My volcano-tracking app doesn’t include any active seamounts that aren’t on plate boundaries, so it very likely could be missing others. This very well could be an undersea volcanic eruption.

Or do I have the location wrong, and this swarm is indeed due to an undersea eruption? #earthquake #earthquakes #EarthquakeSwarm #VancouverIsland #Cascadia #CascadiaSubductionZone #PNW #geology #volcano
