A 9.2 megathrust earthquake on the Cascadia Subduction Zone would not just rattle the Pacific Northwest, it would redraw the ...

Models not suitable for predicting earthquakes Empirical data supports this explanation. "To date, supercycles have been observed only in subduction zones with a larger-than-average seismogenic zone ...

Oceans are subject to continuous change, mostly over extremely vast periods of time running into millions of years. Researchers have now used computer simulations to demonstrate that a subduction zone ...

The plate tectonic theory has been primarily developed in three stages. (1) From continental drift and seafloor spreading to oceanic subduction, laying a physical foundation of the plate tectonic ...
