A groundbreaking study in Science Advances reveals that Earth's tectonic plates are breaking apart under the Cascadia ...

Subduction zones can look permanent on a map. They run for hundreds or thousands of miles, haul oceanic crust into the mantle ...

Scientists have, for the first time, observed the Cascadia subduction zone off Vancouver Island actively breaking apart. Seismic imaging from the 2021 CASIE21 experiment shows the Juan de Fuca plate ...

Recent seismic imaging off Vancouver Island has revealed something extraordinary: a tear in the subducting oceanic plate beneath the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The finding briefly raised the public's ...

Scientists have, for the first time, directly observed the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate breaking into fragments beneath the Cascadia Subduction Zone. High-resolution seismic imaging revealed long tears ...

For the first time, scientists have watched a subduction zone literally fall apart beneath the ocean floor. Using advanced ...

A massive fault is tearing the Juan de Fuca plate apart deep beneath the seafloor, and the quietest parts of the crack are ...

Scientists have, for the first time, clearly captured a subduction zone in the act of breaking apart. These zones form where one tectonic plate sinks ...

Scientists have recorded the process of disintegration of the subduction zone. A study led by specialists from Louisiana State University and the Lamont-Doherty Observatory at Columbia University has ...

It’s not a matter of if, but when. The big one, so to speak, is coming. And according to recent study from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, there’s a 15% chance of a rupture in the ...
