The Seattle Fault is a zone of multiple shallow east–west thrust faults that cross the Puget Sound Lowland and through Seattle (in the U.S. state of Washington) in the vicinity of Interstate Highway 90. The Seattle Fault was first recognized as a significant seismic hazard in 1992, when a set of reports showed that about 1,100 years ago it was the scene of a major earthquake of about magnitude 7 – an event that entered Native American oral legend. Extensive research has since shown the Seattle Fault to be part of a regional system of faults.

  • Die Seattle-Verwerfung ist eine Zone flachgründiger Überschiebungen, die das Puget Sound Lowland sowie Seattle im US-Bundesstaat Washington quert; sie verläuft in der Nachbarschaft der Interstate 90. Die Seattle-Verwerfung wurde erstmal 1992 als bedeutende seismische Gefahr erkannt, als eine Reihe von Studien aufzeigten, dass die Zone vor etwa 1.100 Jahren die Ursache eines schweren Erdbebens mit einer Magnitude von 7 war – einem Ereignis, das Eingang in die mündlich tradierten Legenden der Ureinwohner fand. Intensive Forschung hat seither gezeigt, dass die Seattle-Verwerfung Teil eines regionalen Systems von Verwerfungen ist. (de)
