A 700-mile-long fault line that runs along the West Coast is overdue for a massive earthquake that scientists warn could sink parts of the US. New research found that a 8.0 magnitude or higher quake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, combined with rising sea levels, would cause coastal land to sink up to 6.5 feet within 30 minutes of a major tremor.
