The Cascadia Subduction Zone has generated massive earthquakes over and over again throughout geologic time--at least thirty-six major events in the last 10,000 years. This fault generates a monster earthquake about every 500 years. And the monster is due to return at any time. It could happen 200 years from now, or it could be tonight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Cascadia Subduction Zone is virtually identical to the offshore fault that wrecked Sumatra in 2004. It will generate the same earthquake we saw in Sumatra, at magnitude nine or higher, sending crippling shockwaves across a far wider area than any California quake. Slamming into Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Victoria, and Vancouver, it will send tidal waves to the shores of Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, damaging the economies of the Pacific Rim countries and their trading partners for years to come. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn light of recent massive quakes in Haiti, Chile, and Mexico, \u003ci\u003eCascadia's Fault\u003c\/i\u003e not only tells the story of this potentially devastating earthquake and the tsunamis it will spawn, it also warns us about an impending crisis almost unprecedented in modern history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Counterpoint LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781582438245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Jerry Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43112097317045,"sku":"9781582438245","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_95bafc17-4741-4d6d-83a1-807ca52deae8.jpg?v=1693928630","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cascadias-fault-the-coming-earthquake-and-tsunami-that-could-devastate-north-america-9781582438245","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
