Reading the Washington Landscape

I was invited to speak to the Lake Cavanaugh Improvement Association regarding their local geology. What follows is a slightly modified version of the talk from the presentation. Bald Mountain (bald-mountain) is north of Lake Cavanaugh. It is well hidden from the low lands, but for anyone that ventures into the Lake Cavanaugh area it stands out as "What is that?" Dimensionally the block of greenschist is very close in size to Devils Tower. If this block of rock was located in a less…

Are calcareous sediments weak points in seismogenic zones?

Where a tectonic plate dives under another, in the so-called subduction zones at ocean margins, many strong earthquakes occur. Especially the earthquakes at shallow depths often cause tsunamis. How exactly are such earthquakes initiated? Which rock composition favours a break in the earth's interior that can lead to such natural disasters? Scientists at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and the University of Utrecht (NL) published a study in the scientific journal Nature…
