New study finds Seattle in danger from a massive earthquake
Puget Sound under threat of a megathrust earthquake which occurs only once every 500 years.

Almost a week and a half japan had one of the biggest earth quake in history. Haiti had one really similar to japan as well as Chile. The ring of fire has started once again, as like the time of the dinosaurs. If its are time, we kind of deserve it cause really look at what we have done to this place. But who ever lives right next to Seattle like me, prepare your safety equipment so when this happens your prepared.
I'm a scientist who studies convergent plate margins, my research involves fold and thrust belts in taiwan. The evidence for plate tectonic theory is absolutely overwhelming, and geodetic data is useless unless a reference frame is used. The person below who suggested that vancouver is "wobbling" or rotating. It sure could be, with respect to what fixed point though? Most plates and microplates have a rotational component when the datum is altered. Gps shows distinct plate motions,.... More
Plate Tectonics is WRONG?! There is too much evidence to just ignore it. And there will be megathrust earthquakes in the future. It has happened MANY times in the past, as an example 1700. This could actually happen at any time! It will release when it needs to. Also, if there isn't plate tectonics, then what are the earthquakes that kill thousands of people and animals come from. I ask you that Originofquake!
Kids do not worroy. Sleep tight and tell your teacher that you have proof that the socalled megathrust is false and is not a correct assumption. Sorry for misspelling the word tomOrrow. My message about these TV shows cause anxiety in young people. You need to know a little about geology- like the Juan De fuca ridge heading toward the coast near Vancover is a foot print of a massive ice cap that covered the Pacific Ocean. This ice cap 16 million years ago pushed the mountains inland like a.... More
Men of good will not have an agenda to provide scary nonsence for a TV show. These scientist must stop the crazy assumptions and admit they do'nt know anything.Plate Tectonics is wrong. The GPS shows Vancover Island is moving in a circle. What a joke. The 14 month circle is the 14 month circle called the Chandler Wobble. Every 14 months the spin of the earth wobbles and projected against the sky would make a circle every 14 months about the size of the infield of a baseball field.
