The Role of Plate Tectonics
In Natural Disasters on the West Coast
On March 27, 1964 an earthquake shook Anchorage Alaska. It was 5:36 P.M. local time. The quake registered 8.6 on the Richter scale, although scientists now favor a different magnitude scale for very lage quakes that shows it at 9.2.
