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.
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 company said that Maps will reflect any updates to the Geographic Names Information System, a database of more than 1 million geographic features in the United States. “When that happens, we will update Google Maps in the U.S. quickly to show Mount McKinley and Gulf of America,” Google said.
The Denali Fault Bend represents a curvature in the Denali Fault that is approximately 75 km long. This curvature creates what is known as a "space problem". As the right-lateral movement along the Denali Fault continues, high compressional forces created at the fault bend essentially push the crust up in a vertical fashion.
To map the subduction zone, researchers at sea performed active source seismic imaging, a technique that sends sound to the ocean floor and then processes the echoes that return. The method is ...
Denali National Park and Preserve are located in an area of intense tectonic activity: the Pacific Plate is subducting under the North American Plate, creating the Denali Fault system, which is a right-lateral strike-slip fault over 720 miles (1,160 km) long.
