The only plate boundary in Alaska is the Pacific Plate subducting under the North American Craton. That plate boundary would be a convergent boundary. Don't listen to that other poster, the San Andreas Fault isn't anywhere near Alaska. I think there is a transverse fault along the lower peninsula but that is hundreds of miles from Anchorage.
