The techniques used to map the subduction zone involved sending sound to the ocean floor from a boat equipped with 1,200 hydrophones to record the echoes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) has hosted giant earthquakes of moment magnitude>8.5 in the past and poses a major geohazard to populations of the Pacific Northwest,\u201d the study notes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe have the potential for earthquakes and tsunamis as large as the biggest ones we\u2019ve experienced on the planet,\u201d Harold Tobin, a co-author of the paper, <a href=\"\/\/A74E8EDF-F8FF-4DA4-A59E-D80299356F73\/v\">stated<\/a>. \u201cCascadia seems capable of generating a magnitude 9 or a little smaller or a little bigger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1716990157394000&#038;usg=AOvVaw33qQydjIo8bet419amChif\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Research scientist Kelin Wang from the Geological Survey of Canada said his team is using data collected by the study, remarking, \u201cThe accuracy and this resolution is truly unprecedented.
