Item Description: | Title from title screen (viewed October 9, 2014). "Coarse-grained surficial deposits (mostly in young moraines and associated outwash) underlie much of the Yakutat area close to deep-water Yakutat Bay. Earthquakes and related water waves are the prime geologic hazard; five very large earthquakes with magnitudes of 7.0 8.6 have shaken the area during the period 1893-1975." |
