The US could experience a powerful earthquake and tsunami

It has been reported that a 9.0 magnitude earthquake accompanied by a giant tsunami could strike the US coastline.

This information was reported by the British newspaper Daily Mail, citing observations by seismologists.

A study conducted using high-precision underwater mapping technology has revealed alarming signs of geostatic activity in the Cascadia subduction zone.

It showed four huge fault segments 970 kilometers long, stretching along the coast of North America from Canada to California.

Powerful tremors in the underwater zone of this area could not only destroy coastal infrastructure but also cause water and air pollution and contamination.

The article notes that the last time such an earthquake was observed was in 1700. According to scientists, such events occur approximately once every 500 years.
