pos: 2018 Gulf of Alaska earthquake it was not a violent earthquake despite its magnitude. This was corroborated by witnesses in Anchorage. There was no immediate damage reported. The earthquake woke people in Anchorage, from the epicenter, and was felt as far as Fairbanks to the northeast and British Columbia to the southeast. The earthquake's S-waves arrived in Anchorage within one minute, and reached Fairbanks within three minutes. The earthquake was a strike-slip event that occurred within the Pacific Plate. The epicenter was to the south of the Aleutian Trench, where the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the North American Plate. The region has produced twelve large

This earthquake was one of the most destructive in the epicentral area compared to other events of subduction of the same size. The extensive damage to structures was the result of an amplification effect on the ground and the poor quality of building materials, this reflects the potential for damage incurred in an intraplate earthquake with vertical fault and how it can be much greater than what which can cause one of interplate of similar magnitude, and caused

Vertical displacement of up to 38 feet (11.5 m) occurred, affecting an area of within Alaska. Studies of ground motion have led to a peak ground acceleration estimate of 0.14–0.18 "g". The Alaska earthquake was a subduction zone (megathrust) earthquake, caused by an oceanic plate sinking under a continental plate. The fault responsible was the Aleutian Megathrust, a reverse fault caused by a compressional force. This caused much of the uneven ground which is the result of ground shifted to the opposite elevation. Two types of

The quake was a reported XI on the modified Mercalli Intensity scale "indicating major structural damage, and ground fissures and failures". Property damage was estimated at about $116 million ($ billion in dollars). It is likely that the toll would have been much higher had the quake not occurred after five pm on Good Friday. Most damage occurred in Anchorage, 75 mi (120 km) northwest of the epicenter. Anchorage

Volcanic eruptions can occasionally be devastating, such as in the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington. The Ring of Fire makes California and southern Alaska particularly vulnerable to earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause extensive damage, such as the 1906 San Francisco earthquake or the 1964 Good Friday earthquake near Anchorage, Alaska. California is well known for seismic activity, and requires large structures to be earthquake resistant to minimize loss of life and property. Outside of devastating earthquakes, California experiences minor earthquakes on a regular basis. There have been about 100

It was initially measured as a M 8.2 event, but later downgraded by the United States Geological Survey. The earthquake was felt throughout most of southern Alaska, including the major cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks, and parts of neighboring British Columbia.

Approximately of surface faulting occurred, with as much as of strike-slip (horizontal) faulting was observed by geologists east of Yenice. The damage caused by this earthquake led to a new national reconstruction law in Turkey. In Greece the damage was severe enough that new building codes were introduced. Trenching and other

It is also the ElarmS that are responsible for roughly estimating the geographical location and size of the earthquake. Following these Elarms, empirical attenuation relations estimate how much the earth will shake in the specified region of the quake. In December 2014 $5 million was added to the USGS budget for ShakeAlert development. This enabled USGS to purchase $1 million in seismic instrumentation and award $4 million in funding to the project partners to make current "ShakeAlert" demonstration system more robust.

Two bridges and some oil and fuel-related structures at the dock were also destroyed there. On Umnak Island, a concrete mixer and some docks were lost.

Entergy executives have also noted "that Indian Point had been designed to withstand an earthquake much stronger than any on record in the region, though not one as powerful as the quake that rocked Japan." The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's estimate of the risk each year of an earthquake intense enough to cause core damage to the reactor at Indian Point was Reactor 2: 1 in 30,303; Reactor 3: 1 in 10,000, according to an NRC study published in August 2010.

The shock had a moment magnitude of 8.6 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VI ("Strong"). It resulted in 165–173 casualties and over $26 million in damage. The seafloor along the fault was elevated, triggering a Pacific-wide tsunami with multiple destructive waves at heights ranging from 45–130 ft. The tsunami obliterated the Scotch Cap Lighthouse on Unimak Island, Alaska among others, and killed all five lighthouse keepers.

The 1964 earthquake, with a magnitude of 9.2, was the largest earthquake in American history and the second largest to ever be recorded anywhere in the world.

In most earthquakes, the epicenter is the point where the greatest damage takes place, but the length of the subsurface fault rupture may indeed be a long one, and damage can be spread on the surface across the entire rupture zone.

At the end there are long-period surface waves. The Mayotte event lacked P-waves and S-waves, but did experience a long-period surface wave. Additionally, the signal released by the earthquake was a clean zigzag, while most earthquake waves have multiple frequencies. The cause of the event is not yet known, but

This would damage or destroy infrastructure and buildings not built to seismic standards. An earthquake could cause the valley of Jackson Hole to tilt slightly to the west altering stream and river channels as well as changing groundwater levels. This could cause flooding in some low-lying areas. A large earthquake would also have the potential to trigger other hazards such as landslides, rockslides and avalanches.

The California State Legislature passed the Field Act on April 10, 1933, mandating that school buildings must be earthquake-resistant.

Ground shaking can be caused in various ways (volcanic tremors, avalanches, large explosions, etc.), but shaking intense enough to cause damage is usually due to rupturing of the earth's crust known as earthquakes.
