Photo 12.15. Ghost forest along the Copalis River, southwestern Washington. The dead trees, referred to as snags, were victims of tidal submergence caused by tectonic subsidence during the great, 1700 Cascadia subduction zone earthquake. They died when their roots were immersed in salt water. Photo by B. Atwater. GEOMORPH0000000300.
