This fact was revealed by researchers from the University of Grenoble-Alpes in France. It is known that more than a million residents of the northeast of North America are at risk, as reported by The Daily Mail. A fault extending over 70 km runs through the province of British Columbia in Canada, more precisely, through the Saanich Peninsula north of Victoria from northwest to southeast. This fault appeared several thousand years ago, but it was only recently identified. A scientific study by scientists has shown that the stone blocks of the fault move up and down at their point of contact, and not to the sides. Several millennia ago, two massive stone blocks of the fault slipped away from each other, causing a strong earthquake. According to scientists, such an event may happen again in the future. Due to its location, the fault can cause a strong earthquake in Canada. Aftershocks can raise the bottom in the Haro Strait by several meters, which can lead to the formation of a tsunami due to the displacement of sufficient water. A local wave will occur in the Georgia basin and may affect some areas of Washington, as well as British Columbia.
A tectonic fault and tsunami will destroy parts of Canada and the United States.
French scientists have found a crack capable of causing a tsunami in the United States and Canada. A previously unknown fault has been discovered that can cause strong earthquakes and tsunamis.
