The small Juan de Fuca Plate subducts beneath the Pacific Northwest along the Cascadia subduction zone, capable of a great M9 earthquake and tsunami. The map above plots tectonic-plate boundaries alongside live earthquakes - zoom and pan to see how seismic activity traces the edges of the Juan de Fuca Plate. For instant alerts when a quake strikes near you, the free QuakeMate app sends real-time push notifications.
