The Seattle Fault is a zone of multiple shallow east–west thrust faults that cross the Puget Sound Lowland and through Seattle (in the U.S. state of Washington) in the vicinity of Interstate Highway 90.

The Puget Sound faults under the heavily populated Puget Sound region (Puget Lowland) of Washington state form a regional complex of interrelated seismogenic (earthquake-causing) geologic faults. These include (from north to south, see map) the: Devils Mountain Fault Strawberry Point and Utsalady Point faults Southern Whidbey Island Fault (SWIF)

2023年3月1日 · The Seattle Fault Zone consists of three main east-west traces that stretch from the Olympic Peninsula, across Bainbridge Island and Elliot Bay and through Seattle into the …

The Seattle Fault Zone extends east-west through the middle of the city. A Seattle Fault quake could be as large as M7.5,160 but less than M7.0 is more probable.

2024年2月6日 · The Seattle fault zone is a network of shallow faults slicing through the lowlands of Puget Sound, threatening to create damaging earthquakes for the more than four million people who live there.

A high-resolution aeromagnetic survey of the Puget Lowland shows details of the Seattle fault zone, an active but largely concealed east-trending zone of reverse faulting at the southern margin of the Seattle basin.

Map of the region which shows an approximation of where the Seattle Fault Zone is located. The zone is within the two dashed lines in the upper part of the image. Adapted from Calvert et al., 2001. The Seattle Fault Zone is an area that is experiencing contraction, where there is a shortening on the North-South axis (Johnson et al., 1994).

ABSTRACT shows details of the Se-attle fault zone, an active but largely con-cealed east-trending zone of reverse fault-ing at the southern margin of the Seattle basin. Three elongate, east-trending mag-netic anomalies are a sociated with north-dipping Tertiary strata exposed in the hanging wall; the magnetic anomalies in-dicate where these ...

2022年8月19日 · The Seattle fault zone (SFZ) is a north‐directed thrust fault system that underlies the greater Seattle metropolitan area. Evidence of past land level changes, landslides, liquefaction, and a local tsunami indicate that this 70‐km‐long …
