Part 2 Disaster About to Strike The Cascadia

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – January 26, 2024, marks the 324th anniversary of the last Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake — a massive magnitude 9 quake spanning Northern California to British Columbia.

With Cascadia earthquakes expected every 300-500 years, researchers are using geographic clues from the ancient quake to prepare for the next tremor.

“We know a surprising amount for an earthquake that’s 324 years old. It’s not very often that we know so much about ancient quakes. In this case we do. We know it was about a magnitude nine, which is really big. We know that it probably ruptured from Northern California, from the Mendocino region, through Oregon, Washington and into British Columbia. So, we’re talking about 600-700 miles of fault that ruptured in a single event,” said Diego Melgar, director of University of Oregon’s Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center.

The devastating earthquake left evidence that a tsunami — triggered by the quake — traveled to Japan and created a “ghost forest” on the Oregon Coast.

“That’s actually one of the more beautiful geologic stories that we have in science. Folks that are from the coasts know that there’s these things called ‘ghost forests,’ tree trunks that are left standing that are no longer alive, sometimes they’re petrified. And they are a direct product of the earthquake in 1700. During the big events, the coast drops, sometimes by as much as 10 feet and then the trees end up being submerged into the salty water at these coastal marshes,”

“Trees don’t like salty water, they die. And so, all of a sudden, we see these massive die-offs of forest all across our region and people can date them with tree rings, and carbon 14, and things like that. Then that’s how we know that they more or less all died at the same time. And so, people started piecing together the story that there’s really only one thing that can explain swaths of forest dying all at the same time, from California to B.C., and that’s a really big earthquake,” Melgar said. “It really is difficult for the human mind to understand, you know, 700 miles of a fault line just unzipping in a single event.”
