{"product_id":"9781443408295_cascadias-fault","title":"Cascadia's Fault","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cascadia Subduction Zone is a crack in the earth’s crust, roughly fifty kilometres offshore, running 1,100 kilometres from northern Vancouver Island to northern California. About every 500 years this fault generates a monster earthquake. There is roughly a thirty percent chance that it could happen again within the next fifty years. Or it could happen tonight. Without a doubt, the coming quake is one day closer today than it was yesterday.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Cascadia Subduction Zone is virtually identical to the offshore fault that wrecked Sumatra in 2004, and it will generate the same type of earthquake, a magnitude nine or higher. It will send crippling shockwaves across a far wider area than any of the California quakes you’ve ever heard about, slamming five cities at the same time: Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle, Portland and Sacramento. Cascadia’s fault will wreck dozens of smaller towns and coastal villages -- and no one in these places will be able to call their neighbours for help.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by a journalist who has been following this story for twenty-five years, \u003cem\u003eCascadia’s Fault\u003c\/em\u003e tells the tale of this devastating future earthquake and the tsunamis it will spawn.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jerry Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47006997446805,"sku":"9781443408295","price":16.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9781443408295.png?v=1777422883","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9781443408295_cascadias-fault","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
