URL: CRACK OF DOOM Red alert for magnitude-9 mega-earthquake off Pacific coast |
|
EXPERTS are on high alert amid fears a crack at the bottom of the ocean could trigger an apocalyptic earthquake.
The hole, just 50 miles off the coast of the US state of Oregon, is spewing hot liquid that scientists warn could spark a magnitude-nine earthquake with the potential to devastate the west coast.
It is located along a 600-mile fault line that stretches from California to Canada known as the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
Although the hole was first spotted in 2015, scientists now warn that the liquid coming out is a so-called "fault lubricant", which allows tectonic plates to move easily.
Therefore, the more fluid that is in the cracks of the faults, the less pressure there is between the two tectonic plates.
Without it, pressure beneath the earth's crust can grow, leading to an unbelievably powerful quake.
Scientists believe the Cascadia Subduction Zone will be responsible one day for the Big One, an earthquake of such destruction not seen for centuries that could devastate many cities in the western continental United States.
A robotic diver first found the hole eight years ago after methane bubbles were seen rising from the ocean floor.
Sonar images revealed the liquid was much warmer than the surrounding seawater.
Co-author Evan Solomon, an oceanography professor at the University of Washington who co-authored a report on the zone, said in a statement: "They explored in that direction and what they saw was not just methane bubbles, but water coming out of the seafloor like a firehose.

I read that this morning too.
might explain the jump in number of quakes at the Geysers too.

we have been waiting for this one ... I had a dream last
night where our house was chaos ... I went down to the
pantry and (in my dream) tried to work my way to the
furnace room where I keep my bug-out gear ... we live on
top of a ridge and have a surface trace of the Seattle
fault to the north of us and one to the south of us and
the surface offset on them was on the order of a meter
or so the last time they busted loose

nothing new been going on since 2015. wounder if the
frequent quakes offshore are related to geothermal
activity

the entire coast range in Oregon and Washington and the
Olympic range in Washington state are all humped up and
ready to rock and roll ... it's just a matter of time
now ... the proper trigger, the gun is cocked, the
ranges are all humped up and primed, all it will take is
for the trigger to be pulled ... a bolide perhaps

maybe the weight of all the water and it's lubrication

yes, that makes sense ... it was the dark of the moon
last night, the nineteenth, and the waxing moon brings
good weather (or so it seems to me)
