Fun Fact: Earthquakes in California are common occurrences (photo from the 2006 San Francisco earthquake), as the state is located in a major fault zone known as the San Andreas Fault. It is estimated there are approximately 500,000 detectable seismic tremors in California annually, though most of them are so small that they are not felt. Alaska has more earthquake activity than any other region in North America. Approximately 52% of all earthquakes in the United States have occurred in Alaska. Seven of the ten largest earthquakes in the United States occurred in Alaska.
