Byline: Winston Ross The Register-Guard NEWPORT - It's well known at this point that a major fault line runs the length of the West Coast: the Cascadia Subduction Zone, at the joinder of two giant tectonic plates, capable of producing devastating earthquakes of 9.
The culprit is the Cascadia subduction zone, which geologists say is a near twin of the fault zone that produced the deadly Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami in late 2004.
It appears if the most recent earthquake didn't occur on the interface of the subduction zone.
