Todays #Cascadia slow slip #tremors have increased to 949. 534 tremors being below Portland #Oregon. All three sections are in motion.
Tremors are not earthquakes but are vibrations of the Pacific plate sliding ( subduction ) under the North American plate. 10/09/2022

This takes place between 28-45 km deep and thus not detected by humans.
During a slow slip event, magma may be released at the plate interface, and heat may be detected at or near the Cascadia range ( volcanos )
It is the Juan de Fuca plate that is in motion.

The east side Pacific plate is being pushed westerly. Increased heat detections at the central Pacific also suggest upward pressure.
PS. If a YouTuber calls these episodic tremors “earthquakes” they obviously lack knowledge of what slow slip events are.

Ok Oregon, you asked so we’re answering your #QuakeQuestions from Monday. If you’re not already following @OregonOEM or @PNSN1 be sure to do so as they are your go-to's for local info about emergencies and earthquakes in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.
What’s the deal with earthquakes in Oregon? As many of you mentioned in Monday's #QuakeQuestions post, this region of the U.S. is capable of hosting very large (M9!) earthquakes along the #Cascadia subduction zone where the Pacific plate slides beneath the North American plate.
How do we know such large earthquakes are possible? Check out this thread to learn more about the 1700 M9 Cascadia earthquake – the largest known earthquake to have occurred in the conterminous U.S.
Another heatwave grips Washington, Oregon & British Columbia. Climate change - long predicted + denied - is here.
We know it's time to transition off fossil fuels.
And, all year, @invw's Decarbonizing #Cascadia series is exploring how we can. invw.org/getting-to-zer…

We launched in January explaining how a region w/ official goals to slash emissions and the means to do it just keeps getting dirtier. @invw analyzed the latest data, showing that Washington, Oregon and BC's emissions rose by 5, 6 and 7% b/w 2013 & 2018.

We also profiled #Cascadia's activists, such as the @youthvgov litigants suing govts for the right to a livable future and campaigners eroding Big Oil, Gas and Coal's political power. @robertmcclure showed how activists bottled up fossil export proposals. invw.org/2021/01/18/a-t…
#Cascadia's climate activists have had global impact, yet emissions keep rising here in #Washington #Oregon & #BC.
2021 opens with renewed hope for a real transition, as documented in Part 3 of @INVW's year-long Getting to Zero #decarbonization project. invw.org/2021/01/25/aft…

#BritishColumbia set the pace when #Cascadia's govts set initial climate targets >10yrs ago. In 2021 #Washington and @JayInslee step way out with a 95%/net-zero target for 2050, tough interim goals, and a detailed strategy to get there.

#Washington's strategy is backed by sophisticated modeling from Seattle-based CETI and SF-based EER.

THREAD #Cascadia thinks green. We think we're they climate leader that we Can, Should and Must be. But despite promises + initiatives, #GHG emissions from #BritishColumbia, #Washington & #Oregon just keep rising. 1/9

Holy shit, Stephanopoulos just interrupted Trump, crammed his lie right down his throat with hard, cold facts. MORE OF THIS!
My God, he is unfuckinghinged.
Young woman asks Trump why he downplayed the pandemic.
“I didn’t downplay it. I actually in many ways up-played it, in terms of action.”
She interjects: “Didn’t you admit it yourself?”

Whhhhhat The Fuck Is Going ON
Trump said that it's Joe Biden's fault for not doing a national mask mandate.
🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
I legit don't think Trump knows that he's still the president.
What am I missing? Is there any other way to interpret this?
