. A tsunami of 40.5 meters was measured at 24.4 kilometers and caused a tsunami of 40.5 meters
on August 24, 2014 in Napa, California, USA, with a moment magnitude of 6.0 and a depth of 10.7 kilometers
. The name San Andreas is not groundless, it is named after the San Andreas Fault, "San Andreas Fault". After the 2014 Napa address, Brent Ward, a science professor at SFU in Vancouver, said the California earthquake was related to the "San Andreas Fault." Of course, the same can happen in British Columbia, where Vancouver will face the threat of a super earthquake and tsunami.
Vancouver, ranked among the top three most livable places in the world, is located on an active seismic belt in the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of Canada and the United States.
Shortly after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan passed, some scientists predicted that North America will usher in a large-scale earthquake of 9.0 on the Richter scale in the near future, on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, located in the waters of the "Cascadia Fault". This area is located at the junction of the continental plate and the Pacific plate, stretching 1,100 kilometers from British Columbia, Canada to northern California, and is known as the "Cascadia Subduction Zone". Major earthquakes occur in this area approximately every 300 to 1,000 years. The last submarine earthquake occurred 300 years ago, so the west coast of the Pacific has always been in an earthquake cycle, and large-scale earthquakes and tsunamis may occur at any time. The "Cascadia Fault" is a section that separates two geographic tectonic plates that are now constantly moving and squeezing each other, thus accumulating enormous pressure. When these pressures build up for 300 to 500 years, when released in an earthquake and trigger a tsunami, it will be devastating to cities on the west coast of the United States and Canada.
When an earthquake and tsunami hit Japan during 2011, a slow local river at Pachena Bay on Vancouver Island rose to high levels in a short period of time, and the village is now just 6 meters above sea level. This shows that the earthquakes and tsunamis on both sides of the Pacific Ocean affect each other.
Back in time 300 years ago, on January 26, 1700, a moment magnitude 9.0 earthquake hit Pachena Bay. A major land quake caused by the Oregon Sea Earthquake. Then, 20-meter-high tsunami waves swept the coastal states of Oregon, Washington and California. The tsunami triggered by the earthquake devastated the entire village of Pachena Bay, leaving no one alive. Nine hours later, a 15-meter tsunami hit Japan's east coast. The tsunami that hit Japan at that time devoured several fishing villages. The argument that earthquakes and tsunamis on both sides of the Pacific Ocean are mutual influences existed as early as 300 years ago.
Shortly after the 2011 earthquake in Japan, scientists used computer simulations of an earthquake measuring 9 on the Richter scale in the Cascadia subduction zone. If the tremor lasts for 2 to 5 minutes, almost all buildings from British Columbia, Canada to North Carolina will be spared, and highways and bridges will also collapse. If a strong tsunami is triggered within a short period of time after the earthquake, no coastal city will be spared.
Back to the movie, when the students asked Prof. Lawrence in class if an earthquake would also occur in San Andreas, the professor replied "It's not a matter of if... It's a matter of when." I believe the same is true in Vancouver. Earthquakes and tsunamis will come, it's just a matter of time.
None of us can predict what will happen tomorrow.
life and death. You can only live every day as if it were the last day. I just want to have no regrets.
