The Denali Fault is a major intracontinental right-lateral strike-slip fault that partially accommodates the oblique collision of the Yakutat block into Alaska's margin, extending from northwestern ...
Seismicity in the Alaska Peninsula region is produced by different tectonic features: (1) The Aleutian megathrust is the source of the strongest earthquakes in the region. The most recent examples ...
The Aleutian Arc marks the region where the Pacific Plate subducts into the mantle beneath the North American Plate. It is a seismically active region, evidenced by the thousands of earthquakes ...
