What is fault creep?
Fault creep is slow movement along a fault line with NO resulting earthquake.

What fault line runs through Alaska?
The major fault line that runs through Alaska is the Denali Fault, which extends for about 560 miles from the central part of the state to the southeastern coast. This fault is capable of generating large earthquakes and is closely monitored by scientists for seismic activity.
Where is the southern tip of the San Andreas fault?
