And as time ticks on, the region awaits sudden release of energy locked between the converging plates as a devastating earthquake.Modified from “Beauty from the Beast: Plate Tectonics and the Landscapes of the Pacific Northwest,” by Robert J. Lillie, Wells Creek Publishers, 92 pp., 2015, www.amazon.com/dp/1512211893.The two parallel mountain ranges influence many of the physical and cultural aspects of the Pacific Northwest. If these earthquakes had not been recorded historically, radiocarbon dating could not have provided evidence that these were two separate earthquakes; the numbers could just as likely have documented one great earthquake rather than the two that actually occurred. No one knows when it will happen again: …
But even at those listening levels, the subduction zone remains quiet (Figure 4-13, right). North of the Astoria Canyon is another canyon, then another and another, cutting deeply into the slope off Washington (Figure 4-5). Rainier National Park. The three West Coast states are especially meaningful because they have geologic features that, when the quarters are stacked, represent the surface and subsurface of the chain of volcanoes that has been developing over the past 200 million years. The Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) \"megathrust\" fault is a 1,000 km long dipping fault that stretches from Northern Vancouver Island to Cape Mendocino California. Great Subduction Zone earthqua… When caught between the converging Juan de Fuca and North American plates, the pillows and other ocean layers can be lifted upward to more than a mile above sea level. These aftershocks would continue at a diminishing rate for many years. Just as a consistent thirteen turbidites had accumulated since the Mazama Ash, eighteen turbidites (Figure 4-9) had been deposited in the past ten thousand years, a recurrence interval of more than five hundred and fifty years. It is clear from Figure 4-9 that earthquake recurrence is not periodic, meaning that the earthquake history does not have value in predicting the next one except in a very general way. It postulated that several towns and cities on the west coast of Vancouver Island, such as Studies of past earthquake traces on both the northern The last known great earthquake in the northwest was the The next rupture of the Cascadia Subduction Zone is anticipated to be capable of causing widespread destruction throughout the Prior to the 1980s, scientists thought that the subduction zone did not generate earthquakes like other subduction zones around the world, but research by In 2009, some geologists predicted a 10% to 14% probability that the Cascadia Subduction Zone will produce an event of magnitude 9.0 or higher in the next 50 years.Geologists and civil engineers have broadly determined that the Pacific Northwest region is not well prepared for such a colossal earthquake. At about the same time (as already reported in the Introduction), John Adams, then of Cornell University, was studying the resurveys of highway benchmarks and discovering that the coastal regions of Oregon and Washington are being slowly tilted eastward. The distribution of recording sites along most of the Pacific coast of Honshu ruled out a local source of the tsunami, such as a submarine landslide or volcanic eruption. 1997.

2002. For even a magnitude 8 event, large sand bars like those at Long Beach, Washington, or at the mouth of Siletz Bay, Oregon, could become unstable, as would low-lying islands in the tidal reaches of the lower Columbia River. Journal of Geophysical Research v. 261, p. 433-38. They contain explosive volcanoes formed as fluids rise from the top of the subducting plate and generate magma as they melt their way to the surface.
