Intense shaking along sandy shorelines can cause the ground to lose its strength and sink up to six feet, potentially dragging structures and trees down with it.
Immediately following a major underwater quake, the water may pull away from the coast—a phenomenon known as drawback—before returning as a series of massive waves. [S13E1] A Seismic Shift
The Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) is a unique tectonic fault where the is moving beneath the North American plate . Unlike other active zones, this fault is currently "locked" by friction, showing very little daily seismic activity, which allows massive amounts of stress to accumulate over time. Intense shaking along sandy shorelines can cause the
The content below summarizes the core scientific and safety insights related to the series, focusing on the heightened risks of a major earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone and the necessary preparations for such an event. The Mechanics of the Cascadia Threat Unlike other active zones, this fault is currently
