Cascadia subduction zone is opposite Turkey earthquake, is it next?
The epicenter of the Turkey quake was 37.174°N 37.032°E:
[link to earthquake.usgs.gov (secure)]

The Cascadia subduction zone is located 45°N 124°W:
[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

The difference in longitude positions is 37.032°E + 124°W or about 161° or just 19° short of 180°.

The difference on latitude position is 45°N - 37.174°N = or about 8° only.

So these 2 earthquake faults are oppositie each other.
damned

If the Turkey quake did not release all the seismic energy that caused it, then this energy will bounce back at the opposite side of the earth just like a pendulum cradle:

Turkey is in the northern hemisphere, you think the antipode is also in the northern hemisphere?

Dutch had it in the Pacific West of south America.

It's not antipode, it is opposite. It is the earthquake fault above sea level nearest the antipode of the Turkey quake.

Re: Cascadia subduction zone is opposite Turkey earthquake, is it next?
The Cascadia subduction zone is a convergent plate boundary that stretches from northern Vancouver Island in Canada to Northern California in the United States. It is a very long, sloping subduction zone where the Explorer, Juan de Fuca, and Gorda plates move to the east and slide below the much larger mostly continental North American Plate. The zone varies in width and lies offshore beginning near Cape Mendocino, Northern California, passing through Oregon and Washington, and terminating at about Vancouver Island in British Columbia.

19° longitude = (54.6*19) = 1037.4 Miles
8° latitude = (69*8) = 552 Miles

Re: Cascadia subduction zone is opposite Turkey earthquake, is it next?
Megathrust earthquakes are the most powerful earthquakes known to occur, and can exceed magnitude 9.0, which releases 1,000 times more energy than magnitude 7.0 and 1 million times more energy than a magnitude 5.0. They occur when enough energy (stress) has accumulated in the "locked" zone of the fault to cause a rupture. The magnitude of a megathrust earthquake is proportional to length of the rupture along the fault. The Cascadia Subduction Zone, which forms the boundary between the Juan de Fuca and North American plates, is a very long sloping fault that stretches from mid-Vancouver Island to Northern California.

Because of the great length of the fault, the Cascadia Subduction Zone is capable of producing very large earthquakes if rupture occurs along its entire length. Thermal and deformation studies indicate that the region 60 kilometers (about 40 miles) downdip (east) of the deformation front (where plate deformation begins) is fully locked (the plates do not move past each other). Further downdip, there is a transition from fully locked to aseismic sliding.

Re: Cascadia subduction zone is opposite Turkey earthquake, is it next?
Not necessarily. Undoubtedly the energy of this Turkey event is going to spread out and create more activity throughout the regions. But it doesn't guarantee a megaquake elsewhere.

Over the last few centuries, following the last Cascadia megaquake, there have been tons of 8 and 9 magnitudes breaking loose everywhere and none of those have set off the Cascadia again yet.

It's one of those things that it'll just happen when it happens. We can never truly say for sure when.

Opposite is NOT on the same latitude. It’s in the opposite hemisphere.

Where it’s at…middle of the South Pacific.

It might take another 700 years for that fault to slip

Here's the thing about Eugene/Springfield: they are all downstream of several large dams that were built when it was thought there were never earthquakes in Oregon. If they get a significant enough quake, a cascade of dams will fail and the town will be under 30 feet of water.

The next Earthquake will be in California in the year 2037 summer just before the last days King Charles abdicates / dies on the throne and passes it to Prince William who will be the anti-christ 2.

King William and family suffer a fatal crash in there lives that could result King Harold by the order of Royal Privy council in the year 2045
