<prompt> Hlalosa hore na ke hobaneng ha Pacific Leboea-bophirimela e atisa ho ba le litšisinyeho tsa lefatše?nan  <response>: Instruction in English: Explain why the Pacific Northwest is prone to earthquakes? . Response in English: The Pacific Northwest is prone to earthquakes because it is located along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a 600-mile long fault that stretches from Northern California to Vancouver Island. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is where the Juan de Fuca Plate is being forced under the North American Plate, causing tension to build up between the two plates. When this tension is released, it can result in an earthquake. The Pacific Northwest is also located along the Ring of Fire, an area around the Pacific Ocean where many of the worlds earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. This region is prone to both shallow earthquakes caused by the shifting of tectonic plates and deep earthquakes caused by the movement of the subducting Juan de Fuca Plate. Combined, these factors make the Pacific Northwest a region with a high risk of experiencing earthquakes. . Response in Sesotho: Pacific Northwest e na le litšisinyeho tsa lefatše habonolo hobane e haufi le Cascadia Subduction Zone, phoso e bolelele ba limaele tse 600 e tlohang Leboea California ho ea Sehlekehlekeng sa Vancouver. Sebaka sa Cascadia Subduction Zone ke moo Letlapa la Juan de Fuca le qobelloang tlasa Letlapa la Amerika Leboea, le bakang tsitsipano pakeng tsa lipoleiti tse peli. Ha tsitsipano ena e lokolloa, e ka baka tšisinyeho ea lefatše. Pacific Northwest e boetse e fumaneha haufi le Ring of Fire, sebaka se potolohileng Leoatle la Pacific moo litšisinyeho tsa lefatše tse ngata le ho foqoha ha seretse se chesang ho etsahalang. Sebaka sena se na le litšisinyeho tsa lefatše tse sa tebang tse bakoang ke ho fetoha ha lipoleiti tsa tectonic le litšisinyeho tse tebileng tsa lefatše tse bakoang ke ho tsamaea ha Plate ea Juan de Fuca. Ha li kopantsoe, lintlha tsena li etsa hore Pacific Northwest e be sebaka se nang le kotsi e kholo ea ho ba le litšisinyeho tsa lefatše.
