⚠️MEGA EARTHQUAKE ANY MINUTE ❓
‼️ Geological structure known as the Cascadia Subduction Zone carries a huge danger❗️
🔍According to a new study, Cascadia, which stretches 965 kilometers along the coast from #Canada to #California is far more dangerous than previously thought.
🧭Using high-precision underwater mapping techniques, scientists have found that this fault line is divided into 4 separate segments rather than representing a single continuous structure.
💡 Researchers estimate that Cascadia is capable of generating earthquakes with a magnitude above 9 - far exceeding the potential of the San Andreas Fault in California. And such a mega-#earthquake could occur at ANY MINUTE❗️
➡️ The consequences of such an event can be catastrophic: tsunamis over 30 meters high, tens of thousands of deaths, and tens of billions of dollars in damage in Oregon and Washington alone.
Emergency response plans in those states warn that the disaster will be followed by mass deaths from diseases caused by water contamination and the spread of hazardous waste.
📌 Scientists note that a similar situation has already occurred in Japan in 2011, when an earthquake and tsunami on a similar fault line killed almost 20,000 people.
And now experts are concerned that something similar may await the west coast of the United States in the coming years - because the last major earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone happened in 1700, and the average interval between such events is about 500 years.
🕯Climate is tightening its grip, the planet's interior is now under great stress due to increasing energy from active magmatic processes.
⚠️Possible mega earthquakes are predicted in many regions of the world. We must not allow the dire consequences of the growing climate crisis🛍
‼️ Humanity needs to be proactive. Right now it is necessary to unite all the scientific potential of mankind into a single scientific center, and take timely measures to comprehensively address climate problems.
