X-Ray Earth: The Pacific Northwest Megaquake

This National Geographic documentary uses cutting-edge imaging to peer beneath the Pacific Northwest and reveal a fault capable of catastrophe. It examines the Cascadia subduction zone, where a megaquake and tsunami could one day devastate the coast. Scientists explain how the ground stores and releases enormous stress, and what the geological record tells us about past disasters. The film makes complex earth science vivid and urgent without slipping into alarmism. It is a sobering, illuminating look at a hidden hazard. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
