The 2002 Denali earthquake occurred at 22:12:41 UTC (1:12 PM Local Time) November 3 with an epicenter 66 km ESE of Denali National Park, Alaska, United States. This 7.9 M w earthquake was the largest recorded in the United States in 37 years (after the 1965 Rat Islands earthquake). The shock was the strongest ever recorded in the interior of ...

In summary, only damaging, injurious, or deadly events and those of scientific interest should be recorded.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the earthquake occurred 175 miles (282 km) southeast of Kodiak, Alaska at 12:31 AM local time (AKST). [2] Witnesses to the earthquake itself reported that it was very long in duration, feeling like a "slow roller," but it was not a violent earthquake despite its magnitude and mercalli intensity, as its epicentre was hundreds of kilometres offshore.

The strongest earthquake known to have originated from it was a M7.1 that occurred on July 22, 1937. Other large earthquakes include a M4.9 in 2021, and M5.3 in 2024. [ 2 ] The 1937 earthquake likely ruptured the entire length of the fault while the 2024 earthquake was observed as originating from a depth of only 7.2 km (4.5 mi).

The earthquake ruptured an area of about 120 mi × 60 mi (193 km × 97 km), equal to about 7,200 sq mi (19,000 km 2). The estimated maximum slip along this fault surface was about 3 to 4 m (9.8 to 13.1 ft). [30] The earthquake appears to have only partially ruptured the Shumagin segment of the subduction zone, at 75%.
