New Research Provides Better Cascadia Fault Map
(Newport, OR) -- New research is giving seismologists a better view of the Cascadia Fault off Oregon and Washington. In the past it's produced magnitude nine earthquakes. They can last five minutes and cause 80-foot tsunamis. Researchers used a cable several miles long to travel along the fault creating detailed images. It can show what areas might experience a more severe earthquake. The study was published in the journal Science Advances.
