Also, do you know the answer to today's Nat Geo quiz?
| PHOTOGRAPH BY AARON HUEY, NAT GEO IMAGE COLLECTION | | A tectonic plate is dying. A vast subterranean zone that stretches from northern California to Canada’s Vancouver Island has churned up a series of magnitude 9 quakes over the centuries, the last 320-some years ago that devastated Native peoples and created a tsunami felt in Japan.
Scientists say Seattle (above) and other parts of the region are overdue for another. Simulations find, curiously, that damage may be less related to how close the epicenter is to a city as it is to how far and in what direction it spreads along the fault line. | | | |

Climate protesters from Just Stop Oil say this tactic is to draw attention to the climate crisis—and the sluggish global response to stop it. | | | |
