January 26 marked the 325th anniversary since the last earthquake struck the Cascadia subduction zone. Centuries later, the ...

Megathrust earthquakes occur when stress at subduction zones is released, causing significant plate slippage. These events disrupt long-term tectonic changes, complicating modeling efforts.

Aside from the danger they pose, such earthquakes disrupt the slow, long-term changes occurring at subduction zones. The cycle of sudden earthquakes and slow plate movement makes it difficult for ...

Amid Earth’s mobile tectonic plates, subduction zones arise as regions of intense geological activity and concentrate minerals into ore deposits like gold.

Jan. 26, 2025, marks 325 years since the last great earthquake on the Cascadia subduction zone. It’s a time to reflect on what we’ve learned about this largest fault system in the lower 48 states ...

The modern understanding of the plate tectonic cycle predicts that remnants of submerged plates will be found near subduction zones. However, a new high-resolution model shows that these remnants ...

Crews are finishing up digging a 125-foot hole to install a test foundation that they'll use to test the earthquake-resistant ...
