The Cascadia subduction zone is a 960 km (600 mi) fault at a convergent plate boundary, about 100–200 km (70–100 mi) off the Pacific coast, that stretches from northern Vancouver Island in Canada to Northern California in the United States
Over the past century, scientists have only observed five magnitude-9.0 or higher earthquakes — all megathrust temblors like the one predicted for the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
Back in North America, in 1700, a 9.0 earthquake and monster tsunami rocked the Cascadia region, an area that stretches along what would become Western Washington, Oregon and northern California ...
And there was the catastrophic mega-tsunami of 1700, originating from a magnitude 9 earthquake over the Cascadia fault system, which runs offshore from Northern California to Vancouver Island for ...

Northern California has an estimated 12% chance over the same 30 years of an M ≥ 8 megathrust earthquake on the Cascadia subduction zone. [6] UCERF has also prepared "participation probability maps" [ 7 ] of the chance that any area will experience an earthquake above a certain magnitude from any source in the next 30 years (see figure).
An earthquake ruptured off California on Thursday morning, briefly triggering a tsunami warning for the coast of Northern California and southern Oregon. The earthquake, a magnitude-7.0 temblor ...
[1] [2] The stated mission of the center [3] is to (i) carry out basic and applied science research on earthquake hazards at the Cascadia Subduction Zone, (ii) promote access to careers in the geosciences, especially amongst minoritized individuals, and (iii) form partnerships between researchers and organizations in charge of response and ...
