Great Quake: How the Biggest Earthquake in North America Changed Our Understanding of the Planet
by Fountain, Henry
|
| |
| On March 27, 1964, a magnitude 9.2 earthquake struck the state of Alaska and killed more than 130 people. A day later, George Plafker, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, arrived to investigate. His scientific detective work helped confirm the then-controversial theory of plate tectonics. With on-the-ground reporting from Alaska, often in the company of Plafker, Fountain shows how the earthquake left its mark on the land and its people -- and on science. | | |
