By 2100, there is a 30% chance of a large earthquake happening," Dura said. The Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake Scientists have a clear picture of what will happen when the earthquake strikes.

A major earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone could cause coastal land from to sink permanently, dramatically increasing the risk of flooding, according to a new study. The research ...

There are places where splay faults are present along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, and for those spots, the tsunami risk may not have changed much. In southern Washington, near Grays Harbor ...
