The Denali Fault is a strike-slip fault, a place where two chunks of continental crust slide past each other.
On Nov. 3, 2002 , the fault jolted, creating a magnitude 7.9 earthquake that knocked houseboats off their moorings more than 1,500 miles ( 2,414 kilometers ) away in Seattle .
A geoscientist at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks , studied three sections of the fault.
