		The Strait of Juan de Fuca is the principal outlet for the Georgia Strait and Puget Sound, connecting both to the Pacific Ocean.
		It was named in 1788 by the English Captain John Meares of the ship Felice for Juan de Fuca, the Greek sailor who claimed to have gone on a voyage with Spanish explorers in 1592 to seek the fabled Strait of Anián.
		Juan de Fuca (born 1536 as Ioannis Phokas in Kefalonia/Greece; â€ 1602 in ZÃ¡kynthos/Greece, often reported as Apostolos Valerianos), was a Greek captain employed by Spain to sail northward from Mexico and look for a northern passage from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.

		In Washington State, the small Juan de Fuca plate off the coast of Washington, Oregon, and northern California is slowly moving eastward beneath a much larger plate that includes both the North American continent the land beneath part of the Atlantic Ocean.
		The Juan de Fuca plate off the coasts of Washington and Oregon is subducting beneath North America.
		In sum, the subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate beneath the North America plate is believed to directly or indirectly cause most of the earthquakes and young geologic features in Washington and Oregon.

		He sailed through the Strait of Juan de Fuca (which was named for him in 1725) and believed it to be the beginning of a route to the Atlantic Ocean.
		After sailing back to Acapulco, Mexico, de Fuca was not rewarded by Spain for his journey, and his discovery of the strait was not entirely believed until Captain Vancouver retraced de Fuca's route 200 years later.

	Strait of Juan de Fuca
		The Strait of Juan de Fuca is a strait which connects Puget Sound to the Pacific Ocean and provides part of the border between the United States and Canada.
		It was named in 1788 by the English Captain John Meares of the ship Felice for Juan de Fuca, the Greek sailor who claimed to have gone on a voyage with Spanish explorers in 1592 to seek the fabled Straits of Anian.
		Since it is exposed to the generally westerly winds and waves of the Pacific, seas and weather in Juan de Fuca Strait are, on average, rougher than in the more protected waters inland.

		The Juan de Fuca microplate system of the Pacific Northwest in the United States (U.S.) and southern British Columbia is an interesting area of study for the field of tectonic geology.
		The Juan de Fuca microplates are believed to be the last remaining fractured portions of the Farallon plate in the continental U. region.
		This divergent zone is composed of three major sea mount ridges (the Gorda, Juan de Fuca, and the Explorer ridges) which feed both the Juan de Fuca microplates to the west and the Pacific plate to the east.

	Juan de Fuca Ridge
		Recent high-resolution geological and hydrothermal studies along the intermediate spreading Juan de Fuca Ridge (full spreading rate of 5-6 cm/yr) in the northeast Pacific have indicated that individual segments are at different stages of magmatic and tectonic evolution, resulting in differences in the observed hydrothermal activity.
		At Axial Seamount, a large, axial volcano located on the central part of the Juan de Fuca Ridge, the distribution and style of venting is controlled by a combination of localized fissuring and faulting and lava morphology.
		In contrast with the Endeavour segment to the north, recent observations along the southern Juan de Fuca Ridge indicate that it appears to be in a stage of renewed active volcanism.

		The Juan de Fuca is an interesting area for tectonic research due to several unique characteristics.
		This 500km divergent zone (Brantley, 1994) is composed of three major sea mount ridges (the Gorda, Juan de Fuca, and the Explorer ridges) approximately 8km wide (Brantley, 1994) which feed both the Juan de Fuca microplates to the west and the Pacific plate to the east.
		One explanation is that the normal dip of the Juan de Fuca plate (~65deg) (Swanson, 1989) at the point subduction zone bend has a shallow angle of dip (11-40deg).

		Stretching 300 miles along the coast of Washington and Oregon, the Juan de Fuca Ridge is an underwater volcanic mountain range.

		Deriving energy through chemosynthesis, bacteria form the basis of a deep-sea food chain that supports unusual creatures such as red-and-white tubeworms, deep-sea crabs, and mussels.

		Time seems to have erased the village of Valeriano where Juan de Fuca was born, but in my quest to find it, I took a bus trip to the tiny village of Fiskardo at the northern tip of the island.
		At the time of Juan de Fuca's birth, the Venetians had taken the island back.

	Richard N. Hey - Juan de Fuca
		The oblique magnetic anomaly offsets in the Juan de Fuca area, where magnetic stripes on the seafloor were first discovered by Raff and Mason, had been a puzzle since before seafloor spreading was discovered.
		The competing school said plate tectonics did not work in this area where the young Juan de Fuca plate was converging with and being subducted under the North American plate, and this was the scale where rigid plate tectonics broke down, with the faults resulting from this deformation.
		Because of the difficulty in visualizing plate tectonic evolution with changing plate boundary geometry, the propagating rift explanation for this classic area was not generally accepted until we began to make computer graphics animation movies showing how multiple propagating rifts produced the complex Juan de Fuca anomaly pattern.
