The West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center says the earthquake isn't expected to cause a tsunami. The quake at 2:34 p.m. caused computer monitors to sway and rattled buildings in Anchorage, Alaska's largest city.

They found evidence of fluidisation, where soil behaves like quicksand, which in turn pushed a bus-sized block of sandstone 15 metres towards the surface.
