The Salcha Seismic Zone is a fault line in the Interior region of Alaska, United States, generally located to the east of Fairbanks.The fault runs for 65 km (40 mi) from the northern edge of the Alaska Range across the Tanana Valley to the southern end of the Yukon–Tanana Uplands and is parallel to the Fairbanks and Minto Seismic Zones located further west.

Tectonic map of Alaska and northwestern Canada showing main faults and historic earthquakes Denali Fault and the Denali National Park boundary. 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.
Note: The inclusion criteria for adding events are based on WikiProject Earthquakes' notability guideline that was developed for stand-alone articles. The principles described also apply to lists. In summary, only damaging, injurious, or deadly events and those of scientific interest should be recorded.
The Tintina Fault is a large right-lateral strike-slip fault in western North America, extending from Flathead Lake, Montana to the centre of the U.S. state of Alaska. [1] It represents the Yukon continuum between the Rocky Mountain Trench in the northern United States and the Kaltag Fault in Alaska.

The 1958 Huslia earthquake on April 7 struck an unusual part of Alaska, near the city of Huslia, about 415 km from Fairbanks.The M s 7.3 [1] earthquake is one of two magnitude 7.0 or greater earthquakes recorded north of 65° latitude, the other being the 1933 Baffin Bay earthquake, and is one of the strongest earthquakes within the interior of the state.

Most of the trench ruptured in a sequence of earthquakes from east to west. [5] Earthquakes in 1938, 1946, 1948, and 1965 generally progressed westward with smaller earthquakes filling in any gaps. [5] At each terminus of the subduction zone, convergence ends in favor of right-lateral transform faults. [9]
