Cascadia Earthquake Prediction 2024 Map. A new study has produced the first comprehensive survey of the many complex structures beneath the seafloor in the cascadia subduction zone, off. The region is primed for powerful quakes, with a particularly strong one.

A catastrophic earthquake and tsunami will one day hit the pacific northwest as tectonic plates slip at the cascadia subduction zone off the coast. Scientists have long been working to understand the cascadia subduction zone’s subterranean structures and mechanics, in order to delineate places most susceptible to quakes, how big they.
