Juan de Fuca Ridge Is Moving Again — The Underwater Fault System Scientists Can’t Ignore

In this video, we explore the mysterious Juan de Fuca Ridge, a massive underwater tectonic boundary where new ocean floor is being created in real time. Scientists are closely monitoring Axial Seamount, an active submarine volcano that has been swelling, generating thousands of earthquakes, and may be approaching another eruption. But the story goes deeper. Researchers have discovered that the Juan de Fuca Plate may be fragmenting as it dives beneath North America, potentially reshaping our understanding of the Cascadia Subduction Zone—the source of one of the greatest earthquake threats in North America. From underwater volcanoes and seafloor earthquakes to the possibility of a future magnitude 9 Cascadia earthquake, this hidden world beneath the Pacific Northwest is revealing secrets scientists have never been able to observe before.
