GOLDEN, Colo. – Nearly 75 percent of the U.S. could experience damaging earthquake shaking, according to a recent U.S. Geological Survey-led team of 50+ scientists

Hundreds of buildings unprepared for Seattle’s next big quake, study finds The City of Seattle is in a race against time when it comes to earthquakes and old buildings that don’t offers a view Earthquakes can strike suddenly and without warning. An earthquake is a violent and abrupt shaking of the ground, caused by movement between tectonic plates along a fault

Seattle earthquake would spark tsunami waves that would reach ...

The Puget Sound region may have experienced a single giant earthquake, or two in quick succession, in the year 923 or 924. Washington has a new interactive map to help determine how dangerous your community will be when a major earthquake hits, showing masonry buildings and the date they

How Geologists Study Earthquakes and Fault Lines

Earthquakes can be devastating events, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. In order to mitigate these risks, engineers and architects have been working to design structures that Scientists say it’s possible that a massive earthquake off the Washington coast could cause the collapse of many high-rise buildings in Seattle. The study by the scientists Earthquakes are part of Washington’s past, present, and future, and we have local Native American tribes to thank for documenting some of our earliest ones. A 3.9

When we think of earthquakes in the United States, California often comes to mind because of its notorious San Andreas Fault. However, earthquakes are not exclusive to The geology of the Cascadia subduction zone has largely staved off climate-related sea-level rise in the Pacific Northwest, but that could reverse in an instant. Potentially damaging earthquakes are a threat to nearly half of all Americans, according to a new study released by the U.S. Geological Survey. More than 143 million of the

Multiple earthquakes of 3.0 and higher hit off the west coast on Monday, including one west of Seattle. Here’s what to know.

Unmarried older adults in the U.S. were less likely to develop dementia than those who were married, according to a new study of 24,000 Americans. Why it matters: That might be welcome news for the Seattle area

12 U.S. Cities Most at Risk from Earthquakes

When a news release on the UW study was ready for release, transportation officials tried, to no avail, to expurgate the Nimitz death toll: 43 humans crushed under 600-ton slabs from the road Studying these phenomena helps geologists refine their models of earthquake behavior. This research earthquakes along the southern leads to better predictions and enhanced public safety measures. New research on the Cascadia Subduction Zone shows it has a segmented fault structure, impacting earthquake predictions and preparedness strategies, potentially affecting building codes in vulnerable areas like

Recent earthquakes may raise risk of Alaska tsunami, study finds

A once-every-500-years earthquake in the Pacific Northwest could shake for five minutes and cause 100-foot tsunami waves. New research says that would be just the start of With the Cascadia Subduction Zone parked off the coast and shallow faults lurking under most major cities, the Puget Sound coastal land to sink area already faces a daunting array of seismic scenarios. A new study A flurry of earthquakes in the Seattle area over the last couple of weeks has some residents asking if that means the „Big One“ is on its way. Why it matters: Scientists say it’s not a question of if, but when, the Cascadia

The city is boosting seismic construction standards for new skyscrapers, but the biggest risk is to older high-rises and old brick buildings.

Did you feel an USGS Earthquake Hazards Program, responsible for monitoring, reporting, and researching earthquakes and earthquake hazards

A future major earthquake centered under Seattle’s Puget Sound could trigger a tsunami that would bury the waterfronts under 20 feet of water for hours, according to a new

Can the risks of earthquakes be reduced? Prediction, protection, planning and monitoring all attempt to reduce the impact of tectonic hazards. We cannot predict earthquakes, but we can predict how a building performs in an earthquake. Seattle has 1,100 unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings that are vulnerable to

Members of socially and economically marginalized groups in Montreal and Ottawa-Gatineau are at disproportionate risk in earthquakes, a new study has found. Co The map of the allows you to pinpoint your address in Seattle to see what the various risks are. Radke asked about the quake danger at KUOW’s studios in the University District.

The new study showed tsunami waves would reach the shoreline in fewer than three minutes in many places on the eastern side of the Seattle Fault. In 2015, The New Yorker published an article asserting that an earthquake in our part of North America — the inevitable big one — “will spell the worst natural disaster in the A recent report reveals the spots most vulnerable to earthquakes, with California dominating the top 10.
