When and Where it Happened The Great Alaska Earthquake happened on March 27, It occurred at 5:36 p.m. on the region of Prince William Sound. This is the second largest earthquake ever in the world. A landside caused a district and acres of land into the ocean.

Pacific and North American Plate The Pacific Plate moves about 5-7 centimeters each year. This causes the Southern Alaskan crust to be very compressed, or pushed together closely. On an average of 27 feet, the Pacific Plate went underneath the North American Plate during the earthquake.

The Ring of Fire The Prince William Sound is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire. More volcanoes erupt on the Pacific Ring of Fire than on any other place on Earth. Eight percent of the greatest earthquakes that occur on Earth happen on the Ring of Fire.

Will it Happen Again? The subduction zone is the area where the earthquake happened. The Pacific Plate is sinking beneath the North American Plate. Southern Alaska's crust was flattened by pressure and twisted because of movements of plates before the amazing earthquake, and after the plates were connected together. Using the information I have gathered I don’t believe this earthquake will happen again, but anything is possible.
