Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe Cascadia subduction zone is a massive fault off the Pacific Northwest coast capable of producing a magnitude 9.0+ megathrust earthquake. Evidence from ghost forests and historical records confirms a major event in 1700. With a recurrence interval of roughly 500 years, the region is now within a window of risk for another catastrophic quake and subsequent tsunami.
