- after discovering a crack in 600-mile long fault line at the bottom of the Pacific

Scientists fear a hole in a 600-mile-long fault line in the Pacific could trigger a catastrophic earthquake that would decimate cities along the northwestern US.

The hole spewing hot liquid sits 50 miles off the shoreline of Oregon, on the boundary of the dipping fault known as Cascadia Subduction Zone, which spans from Northern California into Canada.

This geological feature is capable of unleashing a magnitude-9 earthquake in the Pacific Northwest - and the hole could be the fuel it needs.

The Juan de Fuca plate when it ruptures will take out Oregon, Washington and Vancouver BC.

In October 2024 we will have the planetary alignment as in 79 AD when Vesuvius took out Pompeii.
