Earthquakes in Alaska

Alaska Region

Skip to earthquake lists

This shows the earthquake activity in Alaska the past week.  I did not see this last week but by the looks of the map they received some stronger earthquakes there last week.  Those were the largest in the world the past few weeks because there has not been much sesmic activity lately.  I did not realize taht Alaska dealt with so many earthquakes but it does make sense because it is right by a tectonic plate boundary.  The people there are probably very resilient to earthquakes and have their homes built to withstand high magnitude seismic waves.
