More accurately, these quakes are on a strike-slip fault (named the Blanco Fracture Zone) on the other side of the Juan de Fuca plate from the Cascadian Subduction Zone. This fault won't directly produce 'the big one' but this movement will be building pressure and tension in the subduction zone. https://www.npr.org/2021/12/08/1062365995/50-earthquakes-hit-off-the-oregon-coast-but-scientists-say-theyre-no-great-shake https://www.npr.org/2021/12/08/1062365995/50-earthquakes-hit... https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/juan-de-fuca-plate https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sci...
