Cascadia subduction zone, the sleeping giant that could bury the Pacific Northwest
A massive 9.2 magnitude earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone is long overdue, and the Pacific Northwest is dangerously unprepared for what comes next. From collapsing bridges to a 15-meter tsunami, the scale of destruction would dwarf any natural disaster in American history.

Subduction Zone Earthquakes
Subduction zone earthquakes are the largest and most destructive on earth. In 2004 a 9.1 megaquake hit Sumatra off the coast of Indonesia, unleashing a massive tsunami and killing 227,898 people. And in 2011, the Tohoku earthquake struck Japan, killing around 20,000 and triggering the infamous Fukushima nuclear disaster. In the Pacific northwest lurks the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which has been dormant for centuries and is overdue for its next “big one.” In this episode we’re going to tell you

What is a megathrust earthquake? Subduction zone megathrust earthquakes, the most powerful earthquakes in the world, can produce tsunamis through a variety of structures that are missed by simple models. These include fault boundary rupture, deformation of overlying plate, splay faults and landslides. In this animation, we explore the three different tsunami-producing mechanisms by examining three famous earthquakes: Japan 2011, Chile 2010, and Alaska 2014. From a hazards viewpoint, it is critic
