Cascadia Subduction Zone


Cascadia Subduction Zone : The Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) "megathrust" fault is a 1,000 Km long dipping fault that stretches from Northern Vancouver Island to Cape Mendocino California. It separates the Juan de Fuca and North America plates. New Juan de Fuca plate is created offshore along the Juan de Fuca ridge. The Juan de Fuca plate moves toward, and eventually is shoved beneath, the continent (North American plate). http://www.pnsn.org/outreach/earthquakesources/csz
