Here is some information on alaskan tectonics:
www.gi.alaska.edu...
When the northwestward migrating Pacific "plate," as it is called, reaches the Aleutian Trench, it is absorbed back into the earth. This downwelling process is what produces the earth's oceanic trenches in the first place[...]Although it is not well publicized, primarily because the population density of the state is so low, Alaska produces approximately twice the number of earthquakes than all the other states combined. Nearly all of these are directly or indirectly related to the state being rammed from the south by the marauding Pacific plate.


Deny Ignorance, through Tectonophysics.

That was supposed to be the original ATS motto, but it didn't fit onto a card nicely.
