Alaska is a a seismically active state, perhaps the more so than any of the other states in the United States. The Alaskan Aleutian megathrust faultline which runs along the coast of Alaska is also considered to be a fault line that is characteristically longer than the Cascadia subduction zone Cascadia Fault line that runs along the Pacific West Coast. The Alaska Aleutian faultline was most notably responsible for the 1964 Alaska earthquake . This megathrust fault, while large also happens to form the northeast boundary of the Pacific Plate . This fault happens to extends east along the Aleutian arc into south central Alaska along which the Pacific plate is subducted beneath the North American Plate which gives rise to the Aleutian arc and islands. It is significantly one of the worlds most active seismic faults, more than likely before the Cascadia Fault. In the past, it has been home to a number of repeated giant and also greatly damaging earthquakes and equally matching tsunamis. One of the many characteristics of the Aleutian Alaska megathrust fault includes the fact that the fault is subducted, with what are considered high standing ridges and large seamounts, characteristic of large faults. Of course, in the same way this also leads to the fact that there are several other conditions that would and could easily lead to continued lateral rupture a trench that runs from Middleton Island to Attu Island , is more or less thickly charged with sediment shed from the glaciated Alaskan drainage. The earthquake that this fault churned out in 1964 in Alaska was also the largest recorded in the United States having been measured at earthquake magnitude magnitude 9.2.

Earthquakes Unreferenced date May 2007 An interplate earthquake is an earthquake that occurs at the boundary between two tectonic plate s. If one plate is trying to move past the other, they will be locked until sufficient stress builds up to cause the plates to slip relative to each other. The slipping process creates an earthquake with land deformations and resulting seismic wave s which travel through the Earth and along the Earth s surface. Relative plate motion can be lateral as along a transform fault boundary or vertical if along a convergent subduction boundary or a rift geology rift at a divergent boundary. At a subduction boundary the motion is due to one plate slipping beneath the other plate resulting in an interplate thrust or megathrustearthquake . Some areas of the world that are particularly prone to such events include the west coast of North America especially California and Alaska , the northeastern Mediterranean region Greece , Italy , and Turkey in particular , Iran , New Zealand , Indonesia , Japan , and parts of China .

main Earthquake engineering Image Shaking NDC.jpg thumb right Shake table destructive testing of a model non ductile 6 storey building Earthquake simulation applies a real or simulated vibrational input to a structure that possesses the essential features of a real seismic event. Earthquake simulations are generally performed to study the effects of earthquakes on man made engineered structures, or on natural features which may present a hazard during an earthquake. Dynamic experiments on building and non building structure s may be physical &ndash as with Earthquake shaking table shake table testing &ndash or virtual based on computer simulation .
