Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Cascadia subduction zone is a geological fault line that runs from northern California to southern British Columbia. When the tectonic plates in the zone shift, it can cause a large earthquake that can generate a tsunami. In fact, there is evidence that past earthquakes in the zone have generated large tsunamis that have impacted the Pacific Northwest region.
