Tectonic forces build unseen tension deep beneath the ocean floor. This buildup starts long before the earth finally ruptures violently. At the Cascadia Subduction Zone, plates pull and grind, rising pressure over decades. The 2011 Tōhoku Earthquake shows how seismic waves surge outward, shaking landscapes far from the epicenter. As the earth’s crust tightens, stress abruptly collapses, releasing massive energy in an instant. These megaquakes transform entire regions, pushing landscapes into new shapes and unsafe zones. Follow for one real science fact every day.
