Onset of October 9, 1995 Manzanillo, Mexico tsunami. For many local tsunamis, the ocean initially recedes before inundation. Photo from Tsunami Field Survey Photographs site maintained by Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program (Costas Synolakis, Director) at USC. In the past century, several damaging tsunamis have struck the Pacific Northwest coast (Northern California, Oregon, and Washington). All of these tsunamis were distant tsunamis generated from earthquakes located far across the Pacific basin and are distinguished from tsunamis generated by earthquakes near the coasttermed local tsunamis (Figure from online edition of This Dynamic Earth The Pacific Northwest is the site of the Cascadia subduction zone, where an oceanic tectonic plate (the Juan de Fuca plate) is being pulled and driven (i.e., subducted) beneath a continental plate (the North American plate). Earthquakes along the fault that is the contact between the two plates, termed the interplate thrust or megathrust, may generate significant local tsunamis in the Pacific Northwest. Except for the 1992 Cape Mendocino earthquake at the southernmost part of the subduction zone, there have been no major earthquakes on the megathrust in historic time. Does this mean that the two plates are sliding past each other freely without generating earthquakes? This would make the Cascadia subduction zone

Earthquakes and other natural hazards in the Pacific Northwest Contact us Site map Links Search ... Put together an emergency kit Coastal communities in Oregon are vulnerable to damage from local and distant tsunamis. In fact, many towns suffered damage from the tsunami generated by the Great Alaska Earthquake in 1964. The volcanoes of the Cascade Range (like Broken Top, pictured here) are a direct result of plate tectonics and the Cascadia subduction zone. Oregon is known for its wonderful diversity of natural landscapes including deserts, deep river canyons, high snow-covered mountains, flat well-watered fertile valleys, and a coastline with quiet coves and dramatic headlands. Unavoidably, however, the breathtaking scenery goes hand in hand with geologic processes that can be responsible for recurring and destructive hazards. In the Pacific Northwest, natural geologic catastrophes may be placed into five categories: floods, landslides, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. All five of these catastrophes have occurred in Oregon within the past century. Quite often the effect of two or more events occurring simultaneously greatly accentuates the destructiveness of the episode. Floods are nearly always accompanied by landslides, mudflows are often a significant part of volcanic activity, and a major quake following a flood results in a multitude of large and small landslides. Earthquakes in coastal areas frequently precede tsunamis.

Below you will find general information on how local tsunamis are generated by earthquakes as well as animations, virtual reality models of tsunamis, and summaries of past research studies. The scope of tsunami research within the USGS, however, is broader than the topics covered here. USGS researchers have also provided critical research toward understanding how sediments are transported during tsunami runup (see, for example, analysis of deposits (1.8 MB) from the recent Papua New Guinea tsunami) and deciphering the geologic record of prehistoric tsunamis (for example, in the Pacific Northwest ). The USGS also collaborates with the tsunami research group at NOAA . As part of this effort under the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program , the USGS has upgraded the seismograph network and communication functions of the west coast tsunami warning system (termed CREST Consolidated Reporting of EarthquakeS and Tsunamis).
