How the Great Alaska Earthquake Shook Up Science Sixty years ago, the largest earthquake in U.S. history shocked geologists. It’s still driving scientific discoveries today

#platetectonics #science #geology

62 years ago today —
The Great Alaska Earthquake,
Magnitude 9.2 on 3/27/1964.
The largest earthquake in U.S. history.

“It was the second-most-powerful quake ever recorded on Earth. In Anchorage, streets split in half and an entire neighborhood slid into the sea.”

Earth’s continental plates were moving 3.48 billion years ago Magnetic crystals provide the earliest evidence yet of the plate tectonics that likely made Earth habitable, pushing its start back by 140 million years.

Giant structure discovered deep beneath Bermuda is unlike anything else on Earth A thick layer of more than 12 miles of rock may explain why Bermuda seems to float above the surrounding ocean.
