 9.0 Megaquake in Pacific Northwest
9.0 Megaquake in Pacific Northwest
Make that a virtual quake. Some scientists believe that this area could have a megaquake in the next hundred years or two.

To help prepare for the next megathrust earthquake, a supercomputer-powered “virtual earthquake” program was used to calculate the three-dimensional simulations that describes the possible impacts of such quakes. picked by 2manyusernames 9 months ago
