There is always "maybe, could have, might happen" in the future........ Where have most of these events happened in the last hundred years. NOT in the US. snip Idiot - Read the article. The quakes have a 300 year average interval in the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The last one was in 1700, but the reason there isn't a written history (only a geological one) is that the non- native Americans hadn't settled there yet. thanks, K. Gringioni. |

The Cascadia subduction zone is 50 miles off the coast of Washington and Oregon. lol! moron. I realize that you're really attempting to look smart but you aren't built for it. If you were bright enough to understand how subduction zones generate earthquakes you'd understand that the continental plate is on the "safe" side. Idiot - There is nothing safe about a magnitude 9.0 quake. Here's what the US Geological Survey says about it - the geological evidence indicates both a 9.0 event and a tsunami. From: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/...1700_01_26.php Cascadia Subduction Zone 1700 01 26 Magnitude ~9 This earthquake, the largest known to have occurred in the "lower 48" United States, rocked Cascadia, a region 600 miles long that includes northern California, Oregon, Washington, and southern British Columbia. The earthquake set off a tsunami that not only struck Cascadia's Pacific coast, but also crossed the Pacific Ocean to Japan, where it damaged coastal villages. Written records of the damage in Japan pinpoint the earthquake to the evening of January 26, 1700. snipend and the Canadian government: From: http://earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca...700/1700_e.php The M9 Cascadia Megathrust Earthquake of January 26, 1700 At 9PM on January 26, 1700 one of the world's largest earthquakes occurred along the west coast of North America. The undersea Cascadia thrust fault ruptured along a 1000 km length, from mid Vancouver Island to northern California in a great earthquake, producing tremendous shaking and a huge tsunami that swept across the Pacific. The Cascadia fault is the boundary between two of the Earth's tectonic plates: the smaller offshore Juan de Fuca plate that is sliding under the much larger North American plate. The earthquake shaking collapsed houses of the Cowichan people on Vancouver Island and caused numerous landslides. The shaking was so violent that people could not stand and so prolonged that it made them sick. On the west coast of Vancouver Island, the tsunami completely destroyed the winter village of the Pachena Bay people with no survivors. These events are recorded in the oral traditions of the First Nations people on Vancouver Island. The tsunami swept across the Pacific also causing destruction along the Pacific coast of Japan. It is the accurate descriptions of the tsunami and the accurate time keeping by the Japanese that allows us to confidently know the size and exact time of this great earthquake. The earthquake also left unmistakeable signatures in the geological record as the outer coastal regions subsided and drowned coastal marshlands and forests that were subsequently covered with younger sediments. The recognition of definitive signatures in the geological record tells us the January 26, 1700 event was not a unique event, but has repeated many times at irregular intervals of hundreds of years. Geological evidence indicates that 13 great earthquakes have occurred in the last 6000 years. We now know that a similar offshore event will happen sometime in the future and that it represents a considerable hazard to those who live in southwest B.C. However, because the fault is offshore, it is not the greatest earthquake hazard faced by major west coast cities. In the interval between great earthquakes, the tectonic plates become stuck together, yet continue to move towards each other. This causes tremendous strain and deformation of the Earth's crust in the coastal region and causes ongoing earthquake activity. This is the situation that we are in now. Some onshore earthquakes can be quite large (there have been four magnitude 7+ earthquakes in the past 130 years in southwest B.C. and northern Washington State). Because these inland earthquakes can be much closer to our urban areas and occur more frequently, they represent the greatest earthquake hazard. An inland magnitude 6.9 earthquake in 1995 in a similar geological setting beneath Kobe, Japan caused in excess of $200 billion damage. |

Bob Schwartz is an alien ? Curtis L. Russell wrote: And he travels in time by locking an unsuspecting victim in an infinitely repeating time loop, changed only by differing occupations. The victim accumulates story after story, but evidently can't accumulate wisdom or change from his initial confused mental state. But if he's an alien why does he use a prolix name like Bob Schwartz, surely Ford Prefect or Jeep Cherokee or Scooter Libby would be more appropriate. |

I like the way that these guys pretend to know what they're talking about and then if you confront them with citations they come back that I'm the one acting as a know-it-all. I suppose this is the sort of thing that we see in them with the racing stuff as well. They're all experts on stuff they know nothing about. But Tom, How come ONLY your chosen experts have any clue, and the rest of the vast majority are just liars, hacks, and incompetents? Here's a clue for you - you're the horses asses who seem to believe that your ideas are infallible. When confronted with a different opinion you can't handle it. Once again, totally wrong. I have no idea how many times I've admitted being wrong here, learned new things and re-evaluated my positions, but it's a lot since there are a lot of very well informed people here that bring new information to the discussion. I'm sure that you just might be the only one who doesn't remember me doing this, especially since I admitted again, to a monumental ****up, here yesterday.
