His group used seismic imaging to trace the plate's motion. They detected evidence of delamination far below the Earth's surface. Delamination refers to the dense lower part of the plate sinking.

According to the evaluation, the two primary causes of the roof collapse had to do with how the scarf joints in the glulam beams were manufactured, which may have caused early delamination ...

Building on this success, a follow-up study introduced a continuous delamination process, using a bespoke blade sonotrode that uses high frequency ultrasound to split the membranes to accelerate ...

An earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone with a magnitude greater than 8.0 could cause a sudden subsidence – the sinking of land – that, paired with rising sea levels, would enlarge ...

"The expansion of the coastal floodplain following a Cascadia subduction zone earthquake has not been previously quantified, and the impacts to land use could significantly increase the timeline ...

The outer coastline had tsunami waves of under three feet. The March 2011 Tohoku earthquake was the result of a subduction zone, where the Pacific plate moves under the Honshu plate. This movement ...

This is called the Cascadia Subduction Zone. According to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR), earthquakes happen in Washington every day, but most are too small to be felt.

If the 1% floodplain changes as predicted during a Cascadia subduction zone earthquake, Dura said, long after the shaking is over there will be more chronic flooding in more peopled areas ...
