THE ECONEWS REPORT: A Geological Perspective on Last Week’s Quake


What’s the difference between a strike-slip fault and a subduction zone? Can a local 7.0-magnitude earthquake cause a tsunami? And what on earth was going on with all that weird footage of Humboldt Bay last week, in the wake of the quake?


Jay Patton, of Cal Poly Humboldt’s geology department, is here to talk us through it all. Check out his blog here.
