A 700-mile-long fault line that runs along the West Coast is overdue for a massive that scientists warn could sink parts of the US. New research found that a 8.0 magnitude or higher quake along, combined with rising sea levels, would cause coastal land to sink up to 6.5 feet within 30 minutes of a major tremor.The team generated tens of thousands of earthquake models to estimate the potential range of earthquake-driven subsidence — — that can be expected from the next large Cascadia earthquake.
