Answer 2

You need to learn how to google effectively, you'll get your answers faster. I used "alaska largest earthquakes" and "alaska 1968 earthquake" to find that the 1964 one was a 9.2 and the '68 one was a 6.8.

Answer 3

The magnitude of 1968 earthquake in Alaska was 5.5 on the Richter scale. The Great Alaska earthquake, one of the most powerful ever recorded, affected about 50,000 square miles and triggered many research and applications activities that were based on a simple fear.

Answer 4

The largest magnitude earthquake in the central interior of Alaska since October 1947 occurred on October 29, 1968. Rated magnitude 6.5, the shock centered southeast of the village of Rampart, on the Yukon River. This area was badly shaken, but no damage was sustained, since most buildings at Rampart were of log construction. Most residents were frightened from buildings, goods toppled from shelves, and equipment not bolted down shifted. Greatest evidence of the shaking was in the Hunter Creek area near Rampart. Many landslides occurred, most on south-facing slopes. Lake ice cracks were extensive in some areas and were observed some 50 miles from the epicenter in the Minto Lakes area. Ground cracks were noted at Nenana, about 50 miles southeast of Rampart, and plaster cracked and fell. During the first 24 hours after the earthquake, College Observatory recorded over 2,000 aftershocks.
