Earthquake Probability Map of Alaska.

Map showing the probability of earthquakes in Alaska. Highest probability is along the island chain. Bering Land Bridge National Preserve has low to moderate probability.

The map shows the peak ground acceleration (PGA) with 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years. This means the map is showing the greatest amount of ground acceleration (as a percentage of the acceleration of gravity) produced by an earthquake that has the probability of 10% to occur in the next 50 years. Green outlines are National Park System units. Bearing Land Bridge National Preserve (NP) is labelled.
