Locations of quakes magnitude 2.5 or greater in the Wabash Valley (upper right) and New Madrid (lower left) Seismic Zones. The Wabash Valley seismic zone (also known as the Wabash Valley fault system or fault zone) is a tectonic region located in the Midwestern United States, centered on the valley of the lower Wabash River, along the state line between southeastern Illinois and southwestern ...
Hundreds of people in Ohio were rattled Monday when a magnitude 3.3 earthquake struck near the community of Chesapeake, and cameras were rolling when the ground began to shake.
Southern Ohio was in for a slight − and temporary − shake on Monday afternoon, when a 3.3 magnitude earthquake hit the area. The U.S. Geological Survey reported that the seismic event occurred ...
The New Madrid seismic zone (NMSZ), sometimes called the New Madrid fault line (or fault zone or fault system), is a major seismic zone and a prolific source of intraplate earthquakes (earthquakes within a tectonic plate) in the Southern and Midwestern United States, stretching to the southwest from New Madrid, Missouri.

A small earthquake occurred in Brown County, Ohio, along the border with Kentucky, early Thursday. A 2.4 magnitude quake happened about 4 miles from Georgetown at a depth of 5 miles just after ...
The thrust faults responsible for megathrust earthquakes often lie at the bottom of oceanic trenches; in such cases, the earthquakes can abruptly displace the sea floor over a large area. As a result, megathrust earthquakes often generate tsunamis that are considerably more destructive than the earthquakes themselves.
