Pacific Northwest Earthquakes-3 Types (Educational)

Ғылым және технология

The Pacific Northwest is host to more than the anticipated megathrust earthquake that will happen off the Cascadia coast in the future. That earthquake will be due to the stress building between the Juan de Fuca and North American plates as the oceanic Juan de Fuca plate dives deep beneath the Pacific Northwest. However, there are also deep earthquakes within the subducting plate, and shallow earthquakes in the overlying continental crust. This is because of additional forces acting on the region besides subduction-zone processes.

    Feeling the earth strongly shake beneath my feet in the 2001 Nisqually earthquake was jarring, especially as it lasted 45 long seconds. That 6.8 magnitude quake pales in comparison to the potential 7.2 Seattle earthquake, with severe shaking for 20 seconds directly underneath a heavily populated city. I just pray the day never comes for the "big one".

    When it does come... Be prepared to rescue yourself. They won't be able to get to us very well. Narrow mountain passes and so many I-5 bridges blocking the way. Airports unlandable... It's estimated it would be weeks before we even saw an outsider coming to help. And 3-12 months for services to be restored. My family and I have supplies for winter camping for a year, provided we can dig ourselves and supplies out from the rubble.

    There is some evidence emerging that one can frequently be a trigger for the other. There's a geologic record going back a few thousand years that indicate that in geologic time, a San Andreas and Cascadia earthquake occurred almost simultaneously - within a few decades of each other, and with an average recurrence interval of a couple hundred years.

    What would the Hayward Fault line be classified as seeing that so many claim the Hayward is the most dangerous but actually the Cascadia and the San Andreas are. Now All 3 actually connect together at certain points. The PNW is not the only areas that will have total damage. Northern and Southern,CA will also receive a serious amount of damage including Tsunnami waves and destruction all around just like the Sri Lanka Indonesia and Japan Quakes. Almost identical. Can you explain these theories?

  • @briane173

    @briane173

    What makes the Hayward Fault so dangerous is the sheer numbers of people and buildings built along and on top of it. It's a _heavily_ populated area, containing structures that were built decades ago that weren't up to current earthquake standards. A 6.7 along the Hayward Fault would most certainly cause 100s or even 1000s of deaths, and property damage running into the $100s of billions. The I-5 corridor between Medford and Vancouver BC has the potential to be as destructive in the big population centers like Eugene, Portland, Seattle, etc. But overall the area is nowhere near as populated as the Bay Area. The majority of deaths, injuries, and property damage in a Cascadia rupture will be along the coast -- partly due to the extreme shaking but mostly from the resulting tsunami, of which there will be little warning and little time to escape.

    A tsunami from the Cascadia Subduction zone would likely not affect you. Since the waves would be propagating parallel to your coastline, it would not inundate much. The only thing you need to worry about is the San Andreas, which can't produce tsunamis.

    i recently a had a dream that i was in the back room of my apartment. I was scrolling through the USGS websites list of most recent earthquakes on my cell phone. I refreshed the feed by dragging my thumb down, then two new earthquakes appeared. A magnitude 7.0 and a magnitude 10.5. Below them the location said North America. I was shocked and yelled aloud "10.5! We should be feeling that"...BOOM!!!!!!!!!! As I was saying the word "that" it was as if a large bomb went off, the sound was deafening. I used to work on a flight line with F18's taking off 50 feet aweay and this was louder than that . I was thrown into the wall like a rag doll. Simultaneously i was violently being thrown from wall to ceiling back into the wall like a like a bouncy ball inside a shoe box being shaken hard. It felt as if my ear drums were blown just from the noise and all i could think of was to cover my head and ball up in the fetal position, while i was in mid air. Then I was either knocked unconscious or simply woke up from the dream. It was a truly disturbing and completely realistic dream.

    This region of the United States is commonly known as the "Pacific Northwest" and includes the northwestern-most conterminous states of Northern California, Oregon and Washington, as well as westernmost Canada and the Yukon. It is also referred to as "Cascadia" as it is the region defined by the subduction zone. The animation doesn't refer to the northwest Pacific Ocean, but uses the common geographic name. It was originally named "Three Types of Earthquakes of the Pacific Northwest" but was changed for KZread naming criteria.
