Earth Is Tearing Apart Beneath the Pacific Northwest
A new study suggests that the tectonic plate beneath the Pacific Northwest is actively tearing and deforming deep underground. Researchers say the fracturing could reshape understanding of earthquake risks in the region, which sits above the Cascadia subduction zone. The findings are drawing wide attention because of the potential implications for the millions of people living in the area.
Why now: New research on tectonic activity under a heavily populated, earthquake-prone region has just been published.
