Cascadia Subduction Zone - Energy has Been Released by Moderately Strong Earthquakes

Read. And learn.

Per USGS:

Less than 50% rule:

You can prevent large earthquakes by making lots of small ones, or by "lubricating" the fault with water

FICTION: Seismologists have observed that for every magnitude 6 earthquake there are about 10 of magnitude 5, 100 of magnitude 4, 1,000 of magnitude 3, and so forth as the events get smaller and smaller. This sounds like a lot of small earthquakes, but there are never enough small ones to eliminate the occasional large event. It would take 32 magnitude 5's, 1000 magnitude 4's, OR 32,000 magnitude 3's to equal the energy of one magnitude 6 event. So, even though we always record many more small events than large ones, there are far too few to eliminate the need for the occasional large earthquake. As for "lubricating" faults with water or some other substance, if anything, this would have the opposite effect. Injecting high- pressure fluids deep into the ground is known to be able to trigger earthquakes—to cause them to occur sooner than would have been the case without the injection. This would be a dangerous pursuit in any populated area, as one might trigger a damaging earthquake.

I disagree with the Statement "there are NEVER enough
small ones to eliminate the occasional large event."

The largest earthquakes to occur since 1900 in the Cascadia
Subduction Zone is M 7.3.

(1) Occurred near Vancouver Island Canada.

Several others Occurred off the North Coast of Calilfornia
near the Mendocino Fault.

A Large Number of Smaller Earthquakes have occurred during
that period which prevented a Larger Earthquake from
occurring.

I look at the Data.

A Geologists OPINION means nothing.

The Statement is question is not supported by Data.

It is now time for You to Read and Learn.

"This fact alone has convinced many scientists that the
region is relatively inactive - not necessarily because
of locking - but because sediments from the Columbia River
must constantly "lubricate" the downward-thrusting
oceanic plates so they never build up significant strain -
thus believing that earthquakes with moment magnitude 9 are
highly unlikely to occur in the future."

just look at the geological records of past snaps. The coastal range mountains to the Rockies. The next insert is underway.

I visited your link OP but you've failed to produce anything. It errors out.

Fail.

1 Star For Your POS thread. OP knows nothing. OP is a fuck tard with no proof and a shitty link.

Did you go to School long enough to Learn How to Read?

Using Foul Language demonstates that you are nothing but a
British Moron.

I thank God our Forefathers drove you all back to England.

What are the Errors?

Show me some Data as Proof that I failed.

I don't Give a Damn about your Opinion.

It's not an opinion, asswipe...here's the screenshot of your link:

Calling someone else's "facts", "opinions" isn't much better. Don't judge lest ye be judged, eh? We'll just have to agree to disagree. Anyway...

That PDF information you posted is from 2006. The USGS page was last modified: January 09, 2013 18:29:35 UTC

I do believe I will trust the more RECENTLY updated page, thank you very much.

Since the year 1900 (54) Earthquakes have occurred ranging
from M6.0 - M7.6.

(48) M6.0 - M6.9.

(6) M7.0 - M7.6.

The Largest, M7.6, Occurred on Vancouver Island, Canada.

This is Further Evidence that Energy is Being Released
by Moderately Strong Earthquakes within the Cascadia
Subduction Zone thus Preventing Larger More Destructive
Earthquakes from Occurring.
