Plates at subduction zones typically move just a few centimeters per year. But when accumulated stress at these convergent plate boundaries releases suddenly, the plates can slip several meters and ...
A novel three-dimensional model of the fluid stored deep in Earth's crust along the Cascadia Subduction Zone provides new insight into how the accumulation and release of those fluids may influence ...

Scientists give the Pacific Northwest roughly a 1-in-8 chance of a magnitude-9 quake within 50 years
Residents of Washington, Oregon, and northern California face a roughly 1‑in‑8 chance that a magnitude‑9 earthquake will ...
Visualization of thermal state and slab depth in the Makran Subduction Zone Fig 3 (a) Steady-state thermal structure (°C) at the plate interface calculated in this study. The yellow dashed line M–N ...
New modeling offers a more precise picture of the Cascadia Subduction Zone The model from OSU researchers shows subterranean fluid in the Cascadia Subduction Zone. It could help inform predictions ...
Our planet's lithosphere is broken into several tectonic plates. Their configuration is ever-shifting, as supercontinents are assembled and broken up, and oceans form, grow, and then start to close in ...
