Lacustrine turbidites offer a reliable record of seismic activity. A typical sedimentary sequence is produced when a turbidity current moves downslope. If the current generates enough energy, this ...
The Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest has a history of producing powerful and destructive earthquakes that have sunk forests and spawned tsunamis that reached all the way to the shores ...
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Two fault systems on North America’s West Coast – the Cascadia subduction zone and the San Andreas fault – may be synchronized, with earthquakes on one fault potentially triggering ...
CT scan images of turbidites in deep sea sediment cores. On the left, a thin bed of turbidites from a 1906 earthquake. On the right, from an earthquake about 1,500 years ago, the typical "inverted ...
Researchers have discovered evidence of “partial synchronization” of two of the world’s most famous fault lines—the northern San Andreas Fault and Cascadia Subduction Zone. The relationship between ...
The West Coast of North America is a geologically tumultuous zone where tectonic plates collide, subducting under and scraping past one another. Over the eons, this activity has regularly caused major ...
