Earth is tearing apart beneath the Pacific Northwest
New research reported by ScienceDaily describes geological activity tearing apart the Earth's crust beneath the Pacific Northwest of North America. The finding concerns the Cascadia region, where tectonic forces are said to be slowly splitting the seabed and coastal crust. Geologists say the discovery sheds light on how tectonic plates deform and how the region's earthquake hazards may evolve over time.
Why now: A newly published study about deep crustal rifting under the Pacific Northwest is drawing attention for its implications for regional earthquake risk.
