GnRH stimulates the pituitary gland to produce follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), the hormone responsible for starting follicle (egg) development and causing the level of estrogen, the primary female hormone, to rise.
The Great Alaska Earthquake lasted for nearly five minutes and registered a magnitude of 9.2, still the largest ever recorded in North America and second only to the 9.5-magnitude quake that struck Chile in 1960.
According to the USGS, the Great Alaska Earthquake caused over $300 million in damage ($2.3 billion in 2013 dollars) and took the lives of 131 people, 119 of those due to the tsunamis. The sparseness of the Alaskan population kept both numbers low in spite of the earthquakeâs power.
