Figure 12.10 This former seafloor at Prince William Sound, Alaska, was raised 3.5 meters (12 feet) above sea level by tectonic uplift during the great earthquake of 27 March 1964. The exposed surface, which slopes gently from the base of the sea cliffs to the water, is about 400 meters (4 mile) wide. The light-colored coating on the rocks consists mainly of the dried remains of small marine organisms. The photo was taken at about 0.0 tide, 30 May 1964. Georg e P. Lafaker, U SGS
