Juan de Fuca Plate
Since I posted a story about Jack's school volcano, and pictures of Mt. Kilauea, there has been word of what happened in Japan. If only we could make disasters "unhappen". We're watching the news each day and are stunned all over again.
Here in the Pacific Northwest, we live on the Cascadia subduction zone (also referred to as the Cascadia fault), a type of convergent plate boundary that stretches from northern Vancouver Island to northern California. This is a similar fault to that in Japan.
