Experience in recent earthquakes around the world, along with paleoseismologic and dendrochronologic studies in the Pacific Northwest over the past few decades, tell us we can expect the next great (M ~8- 9+) earthquake along the Cascadia subduction zone will result in many regional effects. Which of the following is least likely?

Experience in recent earthquakes around the world, along with paleoseismologic and dendrochronologic studies in the Pacific Northwest over the past few decades, tell us we can expect the next great (M ~8- 9+) earthquake along the Cascadia subduction zone will result in many regional effects. Which of the following is least likely? seismically induced liquefaction in river bottoms far upstream of the coastal zone, even up to the Portland area subsidence (local to widespread) of a zone of land along and even somewhat inboard (east) of the coastline formation of extensional (normal) scarps along shallow crustal faults in the Puget Lowland and Willamette Valley landslides from coastal bluffs and far inland across the coastal ranges tsunami inundation of coastal lands and river mouths up to tens of meters above sea level starting within 10 to 30 minutes

Most major oceanic tsunamis are caused by: displacement of water by uplift or subsidence of the ocean floor during faulting huge submarine volcanic eruptions sudden strike-slip movement of the seafloor or continental shelf earthquake-induced shaking of soft sediments earthquake (seismic) waves shaking the water near the epicenter
