AMNH Presents, Temblor Tales: Detecting Quakes in Cascadia

The sudden and severe impact of earthquakes makes them feared worldwide, but some areas are more vulnerable than others. In the Pacific Northwest, several kinds of quakes threaten, including giant coastal quakes, isolated miles-deep pops, and rips that could tear Seattle’s downtown apart. Leading seismologist John Vidale explains how new technologies may allow scientists to detect quakes minutes before the strongest shaking hits.
