But the Seattle and Tacoma faults are probably the most serious earthquake threat to the populous Seattle–Tacoma area. A 2002 study of bridge vulnerability estimated that a magnitude 7 earthquake on the Seattle Fault would damage approximately 80 bridges in the Seattle–Tacoma area, [ 30 ] whereas a magnitude 9 subduction event would damage ...
Note: The inclusion criteria for adding events are based on WikiProject Earthquakes' notability guideline that was developed for stand-alone articles. The principles described also apply to lists. The principles described also apply to lists.
Damaging earthquakes are well known in the Pacific Northwest, including several larger than magnitude 7, most notably the M9 1700 Cascadia earthquake and the M7.0–7.3 earthquake in about 900AD on the Seattle Fault. The M6.5 1965 Puget Sound earthquake shook the Seattle, Washington, area, causing substantial damage and seven deaths. This event ...
Taylor Swift fans at her Lumen Field concerts in Seattle possibly caused the ground to physically shake.
Seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach examines the seismic activity generated from two of Taylor Swift's The Eras tour concerts in Seattle to that of an earthquake. Get her results!
Taylor Swift is shaking it off the charts. One of the pop superstar's recent The Eras Tour performances at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington, triggered seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 ...
Seismotectonics is the study of the relationship between the earthquakes, active tectonics and individual faults of a region. It seeks to understand which faults are responsible for seismic activity in an area by analysing a combination of regional tectonics, recent instrumentally recorded events, accounts of historical earthquakes and geomorphological evidence.
The Seattle Fault was first identified in 1965 [108] but not documented as an active fault until 1992 with a set of five articles establishing that about 1100 years ago (AD 900–930) an earthquake of magnitude 7+ uplifted Restoration Point and Alki Point, dropped West Point (the three white triangles in the Seattle Basin on the map), caused ...
