Figure 1A From 'Kinematic Model of the Cascadia Forearc'

Caption

This is figure 1A from Nelson et al., 'Kinematic model of the Cascadia forearc.' Northward migration of the Oregon Coast Range squeezes western Washington against the North American plate, producing faults and earthquakes in the Puget Lowland. Red lines are faults; black arrows show motions of tectonic blocks.
