The most frequent number of earthquakes in U.S. are in Alaska followed by California.
No. That would be California. (edit) actually, It is Alaska. Check out the related link below.
California and southern Alaska both experience significant earthquake risks, but Alaska generally has a higher frequency and intensity of seismic activity. The Aleutian Islands in southern Alaska are located along the Pacific Ring of Fire, making them prone to large subduction zone earthquakes. While California has a well-known fault system, including the San Andreas Fault, the overall risk of experiencing a major earthquake is typically higher in southern Alaska due to its tectonic setting. However, California's higher population density means that the impact of earthquakes can be more pronounced there.
how are Alaska and the USAdifferent from earthquakes
The Pacific and North American plates cause most of Alaska's earthquakes.
There are a couple different natural hazards that affect Alaska. Earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires are all hazards in Alaska. There is also a volcano in Alaska that formed in 1912 called Novarupta.

Earthquakes are not born. Alaska had it's largest quake in 1964.
Earthquakes can occur in any state, but California experiences the most earthquakes due to its location along the San Andreas Fault. Other states with a higher frequency of earthquakes include Alaska, Nevada, and Oklahoma.
