The 1980 eruption cycle made Mount St. Helens one of the most famous volcanoes in the Cascades. But it is far from the only volcano in the range.

Imagine two huge puzzle pieces of the Earth’s outer shell slowly pushing against each other under the ocean. One piece is sliding underneath the other – this is called a subduction zone, and the ...

SALT LAKE CITY — A small section of 1000 West may soon close as part of a multicity effort to restore the Wasatch Front's "quiet zones" after they were suspended in late September.

BANDON, Ore. — The warnings of a looming cataclysm are ubiquitous along the Oregon Coast. On blue-and-white signs, a cartoon wave curls out of the sea, capital letters blaring: TSUNAMI HAZARD ZONE.

In a groundbreaking discovery, geologists from the University of Maryland have uncovered a mysterious subduction zone deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. This discovery reveals a hidden chapter of Earth’s ...

Subduction occurs when one tectonic plate slides beneath another, recycling surface material back into Earth’s mantle. The process often leaves visible evidence of movement, including volcanoes, ...

The study was recently published in the journal Science Advances. A schematic cross-section of the Cascadia Subduction Zone shows the ocean floor plate (light grey) moving under the North American ...

Specifically, they simulated the subduction of a 90-million-year-old plate beneath a 10-million-year-old plate and modeled water stored in the fore-arc mantle wedge —the wedge-shaped section of ...
