Scumbria, The subduction of the Juan De Fuca plate also occurs at a constant rate, but because the plates rub together at a great depth under Puget Sound, the surface effects are harder to characterize. I suspected that might be the case....much of the activity must not be measurable at all, even by very sensitive equipment, because of the depths involved. The volcanic activity is caused by heat generated from friction of the plates rubbing against each other. Hmmmmm...hadn't thought it through but always thought it was the other way around. When the volcanoes erupt, what impact, if any, is felt by the plates? ted
