The Cascadia Subduction Zone isn't shutting down—but it's more complicated than previously thought
Recent seismic imaging off Vancouver Island has revealed something extraordinary: a tear in the subducting oceanic plate ...
Scientists are raising new warnings about the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a 700-mile fault off the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington that is capable of generating a magnitude 9 earthquake and ...

Ancient process that created rare earth elements discovered
A new study suggests rare earth elements form in magma above ancient subduction zones, as that magma reacts with substances ...
New research published recently in the journal Science Advances considers the process of tectonic plate subduction. The study is a collaboration between scientists at the Scripps Institution of ...
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 ...
How is plate subduction factory operated during continental collision? How do physical mixing and chemical reaction proceed at colliding continental margins of different depths? How is continental ...
It’s the 323rd anniversary of the last Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. We spend a fair amount of time thinking about the ‘Big One’ (and the ‘Really Big One’) in the Pacific Northwest. Today is ...
