Ten years later, researchers still learning from Denali Fault earthquake The 7.9 magnitude quake, which rattled the area Nov. 3, 2002, has been the subject of research and fascination since. Scientific studies of the quake, whose epicenter was about 90 miles south of Fairbanks, spawned new national standards for building bridges and are providing a deeper understanding of how earthquakes affect frozen ground.

Great Land of Alaska Alaska is one of the world's most seismically active areas. 11% of the world's earthquakes occur in Alaska, and three of the 10 largest earthquakes ever recorded in world history were in Alaska. The only reason that the total death toll for the Good Friday Earthquake didn't even come close to the large December 26, 2004 Asia 9.0 earthquake is because Alaska is so sparsely populated. Alaska's population has grown greatly since 1964, so if the same quake was to happen again, the death toll would easily be much higher.

- WHY DO EARTHQUAKES OCCUR IN SOUTHERN ALASKA? Earthquakes are commonplace throughout much of Alaska. On average there is a magnitude 7 or greater earthquake somewhere in or offshore Alaska every 1 to 2 years and a magnitude 8 or greater quake about every 13 years. These quakes occur as a result of stresses caused by movements of tectonic plates that make up the Earth's outer shell.
