Love these little bites. An appetizer for your backyard and school videos. I have learned so much. Thanks, Nick

There are ghost forests in Alaska from the ground dropping after an earthquake too. Those are from the Good Friday earthquake in 1964. There is even an earthquake park in Anchorage where you can see the twisted land from it.

I love these and try to watch every one. So many interesting things to learn about the PNW's geology.

Nick, you are a great educator. Keep it up. Been following you since I found your sites. My mom was also a great educator.

Nick, there are also similar ghost forest on the southern end of Willapa Bay so I assume they are a result of the same 1700 tsunami. As a PNW geology nerd, I love both your 5 minute shorts and the longer sessions you have done

This was a major focus of Sandi Doughton's book Full-Rip 9.0: The Next Big Earthquake in the Pacific Northwest, which I highly recommend.

Somewhat similar to Quake Lake on the Madison in Montana (1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake & giant mountain slide). Dead trees still standing, roots covered by water.

With the saltwater present after the earthquake, did the trees "ingest" enough salt to enhance the preservation of the trees prior to "dying"?

Thanks Nick! Too short :(. QUESTION? If the North American plate springs up when tension is released, how can it drop 300 feet precipitously??

Check out Nick's video "Live From Home #14 - Great Earthquakes". In a nutshell, the NA Plate doesn't raise up when tension is released, it drops and moves toward the fault. On the coast it will drop ~6'.

As North America is pushed up against the Pacific Plate (PP) by the expanding Atlantic Rift located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, it gets stuck against the PP until released by a great quake every 300 to 500 years or so. As the pressure builds The land crumples up like a rug pushed up against a wall with raised and lowered sections. A lowered section was located 55 miles out by the fault itself but a corresponding higher section was located around the coast and so forth. When the quake hit releasing the strain the area around the fault raised suddenly along the entire 700 miles of the fault’s length 6 feet thereby causing the tsunami and the area around the coast dropped in tandem.
