Subduction, a crucial geological process on Earth, may have begun hundreds of millions of years earlier than traditionally ...

New Cascadia Subduction Zone research suggests the tsunami risk for some coastal communities in the Pacific Northwest may not be quite as acute as originally thought.

An international study has revealed how continental collisions may have supercharged the Earth's richest deposits of copper, a metal critical for clean energy technologies and global infrastructure.

A new study does the difficult task of trying to piece together the history of the world’s largest subduction zone.

Evidence from Earth's deep past suggests dramatic subduction zones can spread like a contagion.

Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives underneath another, drive the world’s most devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. How do these danger zones come to be? A study in Geology ...

Researchers are running new models with the updated information about the Cascadia subduction zone, which may give a clearer view of how the absence of this megasplay fault will play into "The Big ...

As the most seismically active regions in the world, oceanic subduction zones show contrasting seismicity in different regions. A review by a team from Nanjing University explored the ...

New research shows that in minutes after the earthquake hits, coastal areas of California, Oregon and Washington could drop over 6 and a half feet in elevation.

When an earthquake rips along the Cascadia Subduction Zone fault, much of the U.S. West Coast could shake violently for five minutes, and tsunami waves as tall as 100 feet could barrel toward ...

Jon Hamm, Amanda Peet and Olivia Munn lead an ensemble cast in Apple TV+'s new crime drama "Your Friends and Neighbors." ...

The modern understanding of the plate tectonic cycle predicts that remnants of submerged plates will be found near subduction zones. However, a new high-resolution model shows that these remnants ...
