WEB Unfortunately our results cant predict when the next large Cascadia megathrust earthquake will occur This will require more research and dense active monitoring of the subduction zone both. WEB A scenario study for a magnitude 90 or the big one along the Cascadia Subduction Zone is estimated to result in more than 10000 deaths 30000 injuries and an economic loss of 70 billion for the states of Washington Oregon and California. Drought and wildfire are the horrors dominating headlines this time of year But California also faces the threat of another kind of calamity one that could.

WEB Experts define The Big One as a quake of at least a 78 magnitude along the southern part of the San Andreas Fault That quake would be 44 times stronger than Southern Californias. WEB Big One in California might defy current quake predictions and models new study says - Science News Dec 28 2023 0245 PM IST Studys findings made a big claim that ground shaking during the anticipated Big One earthquake could be up to 65 per cent less intense than current hazard. WEB Nearly all of California has a more than 95 chance of a damaging earthquake in the next century according to a new United States Geological Survey map The new USGS National Seismic Hazard.
