Man, scary stuff. I actually didn't remember the difference between the two types of plates meeting. If the Juan De Fuco plate truly is stuck under the North American Plate, then when it breaks free, it could be catastrophic. They might not even have a scale for that! It seems that the sinking JDF plate would also push on the submerged magma which could set off the volcanoes as well. It's not going to be a good day to be in the Pacific NW if that happens. Shaking, then ash for days. Hopefully there's good news in Part 3! Maybe? :)
