Roadside Geology of Alaska, 2nd Edition - Book
MPP001
The biggest US state is full of superlatives. Denali, the highest peak in North America at 20,320 feet, is still rising, pushed upward as a tectonic plate collides from the south.

The exceptional heights of Alaska s mountains are mirrored below sea level by the 22,377-foot-deep trench of the active subduction zone along Alaska s southern shore. Earthquakes associated with the subduction zone shake Alaskans frequently, and the magnitude 9.2 earthquake in 1964, with its epicenter in...
