We are taking a look at our last case study for Earthquakes and Tsunamis, which is the Cascadia Subduction Zone. You are expected to be familiar with this case study for our Quest at the end of the unit.
Here is the powerpoint that gives an overview of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, but also examines some of the interesting technological innovation going on in seismology. It also discusses the concept of VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE and the notion that local/Indigenous knowledge of events, as well as building construction, is extremely important. We explored a few examples of this type of architecture in buildings around the world that have withstood the test of time, and have even stayed structurally sound while other more 'modern' buildings have collapsed. Examples of this include the Constantine Walls in Istanbul, the Tomb of Cyrus in Iran, Machu Picchu in Peru, and others.
Here is a very brief article on the Tsunami danger in the Cascadia Subduction Zone, including mention of 'Operation Panorama' - which is the military operation that will be enabled in the case of a tsunami. Inspired by our discussions and want to know more about Earthquake Preparation? Here is a handout on how to prepare, as well as a video on advice for preparation, and another video on Earthquake Preparedness kits.
Here are the different topics for our expert group presentations.
