Scientists just released the first comprehensive survey of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, the most dangerous earthquake-producing fault in the US.

Those living in the Pacific Northwest have been warned about the so-called 'big one' for decades. It's a super earthquake that would wreak havoc on coastal communities. It's unclear when the quake might hit, but as Richard Zussman reports, new research provides a much clearer picture of how big it could be.

Earthquake study suggests the 'big one' could be much worse than expected

Some of the world’s largest earthquakes and tsunamis have originated from the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a 1,127-kilometer (700-mile) stretch that runs from northern California up to British Columbia. Here, the Pacific Ocean floor is subducting under North America – and when the fault periodically locks and releases, it can unleash devastating megathrust earthquakes and record-breaking waves.

Megathrust Earthquakes And The World’s Largest Tsunamis: What Is The Cascadia Subduction Zone?

Northern part of the long Pacific Ocean fault most likely to produce a major earthquake, scientists say. New research offers a clearer picture of a fault line hundreds of kilometres long off the West Coast that is predicted to generate a major earthquake and tsunami commonly known as "The Big One."

Alaska State

LOGAN, Utah — Will another big earthquake strike the Denali fault in Alaska? In 2002, a powerful earthquake along this fault, which runs 1,200 miles across Alaska and Canada, caused significant damage to remote villages and infrastructure in central Alaska. Recently, a team of researchers from Utah State University embarked on a mission to uncover the secrets of this sleeping giant.

A crater in Siberia is expanding faster than anticipated due to climate change, scientists have discovered, saying it now poses problems for the surrounding habitat.  

The Batagaika slump, known as the “Gateway to Hell” and located in the freezing Yana Highlands, currently covers about 200 acres of land and can be seen in satellite images captured from space. 

The crater was first detected on images taken in 1991 and has been growing in both width and depth since that time as global warming causes permafrost (frozen soil sediment) to melt.

Police issue so many warnings, it's hard to know what to really pay attention to. Recently, alerts have gone out about folded dollar bills on the ground, cheese on cars, bottles wrapped in aluminum foil, eggs being thrown at you, and plenty of other things. Now, a pretty serious one has been issued about a strange object some people are seeing outside of their homes.

When kids go for hikes with their parents, they expect to see beautiful views from the top or enjoy the things on the way up. However, this family found something unique and exciting while hiking in the Badlands of North Dakota in 2022, per My Modern Met. A group of two boys and their father found a rare juvenile tyrannosaurus rex fossil shared in a press release by The Denver Museum of Nature and Science on Tuesday, June 4.

A new study characterizes the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which includes the "megathrust" fault, where the largest earthquakes initiate and spread, to inform potential earthquake and tsunami hazards. For the first time, NSF-funded researchers revealed a detailed look at the potential for a major earthquake off the coasts of southern British...

Back-to-back days of severe weather brought widespread flooding across the Midwest — and even a tsunami on Lake Michigan. It wasn't the typical kind of tsunami caused by seismic activity, but footage of the weather event showed how dangerous rising tides can be.The event that transpired on the shores of Lake Michigan is known as a "meteotsunami," which according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are large waves driven by air-pressure disturbances that often come with severe thunderstorms and squalls. When the storm hits, it creates a large wave that moves toward the shore. The Great Lakes are no stranger...

The frozen continent of Antarctica is, paradoxically, a hotbed of volcanic activity.The ice-capped region is home to some 138 volcanoes nestled beneath the snow, 91 of which were discovered as recently as 2017.Whilst most of them are considered dormant or possibly extinct, three have erupted in recent history according to the Smithsonian Institution’s Global Volcanism Program: Penguin Island in 1905; Deception Island in 1970, and Mount Erebus in 1972.The latter of these is arguably Antarctica’s most famous – winning the titles of tallest active volcano on the continent – with its summit standing at 12,448 feet (3,794 metres) – and...

The Moon is a constant in the night sky, but all is not actually as it seems. It turns out that scientists have discovered the Moon is drifting away from Earth, and it’s changing everything we thought we knew about our planet’s relationship with its only natural satellite. It’s also having a very real impact on the length of days on our planet – albeit at an incredibly slow rate. By moving away from Earth over the course of millions of years, the Moon is simultaneously making the length of the average day longer.A study by a team at the...

Michel de Nostredame, known as Nostradamus, the renowned French astrologer and physician, has long been celebrated for his eerily accurate predictions. Among his many prophecies, one of the most chilling and precise was about his own death.
