The Yakima Fold Belt of south-central Washington, also called the Yakima fold-and-thrust belt, is an area of topographical folds (or wrinkles) raised by tectonic compression. It is a 14,000 km2 (5,400 sq mi) structural-tectonic sub province of the western Columbia Plateau Province resulting from complex and poorly understood regional tectonics. The folds are associated with geological faults whose seismic risk is of particular concern to the nuclear facilities at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation (immediately northwest of the Tri-Cities) and major dams on the Columbia and Snake Rivers.

  • Der Yakima Fold Belt im südlichen zentralen Teil des US-Bundesstaates Washington in den Counties Yakima, Kittitas, Klickitat, Benton und Grant, auch Yakima fold-and-thrust belt genannt (dt. etwa Yakima Falten-Überschiebungs-Gürtel), ist ein Gebiet topographischer Faltungen, das durch tektonische Kompression emporgehoben wurde. Es handelt sich um die etwa 14.000 km² große strukturell-tektonische Subprovinz des westlichen Columbia Plateau, welche das Ergebnis einer komplexen und noch wenig verstandenen regionalen Tektonik sind. Die Faltungen sind mit geologischen Verwerfungen verbunden, deren seismisches Risiko für die nuklearen Einrichtungen am Hanford Nuclear Complex (unmittelbar nordwestlich der Tri-Cities) und die Staudämme am Columbia und Snake River von besonderem Interesse ist.
