When an earthquake rips along the Cascadia Subduction Zone fault, much of the U.S. West Coast could shake violently for five ...

A new study warns that a megathrust earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone could cause coastal land to sink permanently.

Subduction zones are the most important sites of material exchange between the crust and mantle on Earth. They are also the locations where the largest deposits of strategic metals, such as copper, ...

A subduction zone, composed of the deep Aleutian Trench coupled with a landward line of volcanoes, creates a series of offshore islands (the Aleutians) as well as a line of volcanoes along the ...

The quake serves as a reminder of the long-term seismic risks posed by the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a less-publicized but potentially catastrophic fault system that extends from Northern ...

"This is the first large scale ocean bottom seismic experiment conducted at an Atlantic subduction zone," said Dr. Catherine Rychert, formerly an Associate Professor at the University of ...
