The Cascadia Subduction zone isn’t shutting down – but it’s more complicated than we thought The interpretation that the subduction zone is winding down gets ahead of the science. What the new research actually shows is far more complex and interesting.

Recent seismic imaging off Vancouver Island has revealed something extraordinary: a tear in the subducting oceanic plate beneath the Cascadia Subduction Zone. theconversation.com/the-cascadia... #CdnSci #geology #science #SciChat
