"The Cascadia fault line, capable of a massive 9.0 quake, poses a potential flooding risk to Northern California and remains a focus of seismic studies."
"Seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones emphasizes that the Cascadia fault's offshore location will lead to heavy underwater shaking, affecting a larger coastal area."
A recent study highlights the earthquake risk posed by the Cascadia fault line, capable of producing a 9.0 magnitude quake that could lead to significant land sinking in Northern California. While concerns about this fault have persisted for decades, seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones notes that the primary threat lies in Southern California. The study discusses the potential impacts of shaking on coastal regions and connects these risks to the ongoing issues of climate change and sea level rise.
