∙ 14y agoEarthquakes in the United States are predominately concentrated along the coast of California where there is a transform boundary between the Pacific and North American plates and in Alaska where the Pacific plate is converging with the North American plate causing subduction which has produced the Aleutian island chain and again has produced significant seismic activity.
