RE: The Great Alaskan Earthquake of 1964: A Groundbreaking Geological Discovery of the 20th Century

in #geology6 years ago (edited)

That was one pretty impressive B.F.E.! Did you see the images of the NZ South Island recently, maybe a different mechanism to this but still pretty impressive to see land displaced several meters vertically.

This article was honestly a blast to write. It was impressively informative. While I knew of the processes occurring in the Alaskan earthquake, I had no clue how groundbreaking the geological discoveries were as a result of it. I may have to start writing more about the people behind the figurative rock face that have helped push our geological knowledge of this planet forward.
