Study warns huge 1,000km long fault where megaquake will originate is 'eerily quiet'

The fault zone expected to generate the next 'big one' earthquake has gone silent.

Researchers are baffled by the lack of activity at the 1,00km long Cascadia fault which stretches from Northern Vancouver Island to Cape Mendocino in California.

Experts believe the lack of activity could point to a build up of pressure - which could lead to a massive killer quake.

Two independent research initiatives have both found the same thing - the sound of silence under the sea.

The Cascadia earthquake fault zone lies underwater between 40 and 80 miles offshore of the Pacific Northwest coastline.
