Cascadia Subduction Zone: Earthquake Risks and Historical Events

DESCRIPTION

This presentation explores the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a critical area for understanding seismic activity in the Pacific Northwest. It delves into the geological implications of the Juan de Fuca Plate subducting beneath the North American Plate and highlights significant historical events, including the 1964 Alaska earthquake, which had a magnitude of 9.0. By assessing past earthquakes and potential future threats, we aim to raise awareness about the risks posed by the Cascadia Subduction Zone and the importance of preparedness.
