Marine geophysicists have conducted a detailed survey of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, identifying it as a fault that can produce large earthquakes. The researchers discovered that the fault is divided into at least four segments, with one segment along the coast of Washington being particularly dangerous, posing a high risk for extreme shaking in the region. Understanding these segments could help with earthquake and tsunami risk assessments, aiding in preparedness efforts for potential future disasters.
