The Denali-Totschunda fault is a major dextral (right lateral) strike-slip system, similar in scale to the San Andreas Fault system. In Alaska, moving from east to west, the plate interactions change from a transform boundary between the Pacific plate and North American plate to a collision zone with a microplate, the Yakutat terrane, which is in the process of being accreted to the North ...
The 7.9-magnitude 2002 Denali earthquake struck the region in November 2002. The earthquake initiated with thrust movement on the previously unrecognized Susitna Glacier fault. [2] Aerial view of Susitna Glacier flowing from Moby Dick mountain

The Denali Fault is a major intracontinental dextral (right lateral) strike-slip fault in western North America, extending from northwestern British Columbia, Canada to the central region of the U.S. state of Alaska.

Moderately damaging earthquakes strike between New York and Wilmington, Delaware, about twice a century, the USGS said, and smaller earthquakes are felt in the region roughly every two to three years.

The northwestern end of the fault ruptured during the 2002 Denali earthquake. [1] Based on radiometric dating of a dike that cuts fault rock associated with the Totschunda Fault to about 114 million years ago, the fault zone was initiated during the latter part of the Early Cretaceous, associated with the accretion of the Wrangellia Terrane.

The fault zone responsible for Thursday's 7.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of California is not known to produce large tsunamis, but due to the size of the event, NOAA’s Tsunami Warning ...
