Scientists mapped the Cascadia subduction zone off the Pacific Northwest coast with unprecedented detail to better understand the potential risks of a catastrophic 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami, aiding in the preparation and mitigation efforts.
A research vessel deployed a 9-mile-long cable embedded with specialized microphones to send sound waves deep into the ocean, constructing a comprehensive map of underwater geology to assist in earthquake and tsunami scenario predictions.
