Ancient trees testify to a quake
These logs are an ancient forest on the Oregon coastline that is popping out of the ocean today. The trees grew about 1000 years ago, but the huge forces in the Earth buried them in sediment and then exposed them again.
Oregon sits above the Cascadia subduction zone, where a small piece of ocean crust call the Juan de Fuca Plate is sinking into the mantle beneath North America. As that plate sinks, it is pushing against the continent and causing it to bend.
