Large earthquakes follow ‘silent slip,’ new OSU research shows

Researchers at Oregon State University have found a new explanation as to why foreshocks often precede large earthquakes.

Large quakes appear to follow a short period of “shallow mantle creep” and “seismic swarms,” according to the study, which was published Monday in the the academic journal Nature Geosciences.

The findings shed new light on a phenomenon called “silent slip,” in which parts of the Earth’s crust are displaced along a fault line, but without any seismic activity.

In simpler terms, silent slip is when the Earth moves, but there’s no earthquake. That silent slip can lead to actual seismic activity, though, said co-author Vaclav Kuna, a graduate student in geology and geophysics at the university.

No way man! That would put me at a huge disadvantage with those short T-Rex arms!

Now let's see if we can lure Kickin into the fight too..

The Cascadia Playbook (Version 3.0)

Preparing for a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake and ensuing tsunami may seem like a daunting task, but each step we take to prepare helps make Oregon more resilient. The Cascadia Playbook is the blueprint for preparing for a large scale catastrophic event, but it also guides responses to other emergencies and incidents.

The Cascadia Threat
A Cascadia event is based on the threat of a catastrophic magnitude 9.0 Subduction Zone earthquake and resultant tsunami. Coastal counties will experience a devastating tsunami on top of severe ground shaking (up to five minutes). Shaking intensity will be less in the I-5 Corridor and Southern, Central, and Eastern Oregon, but older buildings may incur extended damage.

Expected Impacts
• Ground shaking for 4-6 minutes causing massive critical infrastructure damage
• Liquefaction and landslides causing disruption of transportation routes
• Tsunami inundation to coastal areas with as little as 15 minutes warning
• Up to 25,000 fatalities resulting from combined effects of earthquakes and tsunami
• Tens of thousands of buildings and structures destroyed or damaged
• Tens of thousands of people in need of shelter because of destroyed or damaged households
• $30+ billion in economic loss

High Impact Areas:
Curry, Coos, Douglas, Lane, Lincoln, Tillamook, and Clatsop counties

Mid-Range Impact Areas:
Metropolitan areas including Washington, Multnomah, and Clackamas counties; counties west of the Cascades (Josephine, Jackson, Douglas, Lane, Linn, Benton, Marion, Polk, Yamhill, and Columbia)

Lmao!!! Yes it definitely would be!

Can't wait to go home and eat! Feel like making a bacon, turkey, pico de gallo panini.

:NaughtyToast:

It's so cold in this office that my fingers now hurt when I type. I think I'm slowly getting frostbite lol. My nose is so cold too!

@barstoolsports

This is why they moved TWO (2) football teams to LA. You can’t fake this kind of passion

Damn! Can't compete with women who watch football and baseball and know how to throw a mean curve ball.

I surrender,.. for now..

I can't imagine the nfl will truly do anything about it, but holy crap!

@Captain07268648

Source out of New York saying that @NFL is reviewing incident and making determination of course of action following the controversial no-call on the PI versus @Saints League is expected to make an official announcement by 5 PM ET Tuesday. #Saints #NFL #Rams
