Earth is tearing apart beneath the Pacific Northwest
New research points to the Earth's crust actively stretching and tearing beneath the Pacific Northwest, the region sitting atop the Cascadia subduction zone. The finding has drawn attention from science readers concerned about earthquake risk in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, and what deep tectonic activity could mean for future seismic hazards.
Why now: Concern about earthquake risk along the Cascadia subduction zone makes new evidence of crustal tearing in the Pacific Northwest highly discussable.
