When most people think of the “Big One,” they often think about an earthquake caused by the San Andreas Fault. However, there’s actually a more dangerous fault called the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
The Cascadia Subduction Zone, also known as the Cascadia Fault, is over 1,100 kilometre long (almost 700 miles long) and stretches the west coast of North America from Vancouver Island to Northern California. For some perspective,
an earthquake caused by the San Andreas Fault could reach 8.3 on the
Richter scale, but a Cascadia earthquake will be more like a 9.2.
That means that the quake could shake for up to four and a half
minutes. →Subscribe for new videos every day!https://www.youtube.com/user/toptenzn...
