NPS Sites in Alaska Subduction Zone

description

Summary

Letters in ovals refer to NPS sites that lie on the accretionary wedge and volcanic arc formed by northward subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath southern Alaska. Those sites, as well as Wrangell–St. Elias and Denali national parks, are also included in the “Accreted Terranes” part of these web pages. Sites in northern Alaska are in the Brooks Range, discussed in the “Collisional Mountain Range” web pages. B–B’ is the line of cross section in [the next] illustration.
