Volcanos, floods, permafrost, avalanches, and mudflatsIt is easy to focus on earthquakes
as a hazard, perhaps because we feel them
from time to time. However, there are other geologic hazards in Alaska
that can disrupt our lives and cost us time and money. Some of the most
notable of these are volcanoes, floods, permafrost, avalanches, and
mudflats. We can act now to avoid the damage caused by them. |
