Missouri's New Madrid Seismic Zone is in the news after the National Guard held drills in downtown St. Louis about a potential magnitude 8.4 earthquake. Here's why.
If you've ever wondered what would happen if the predicted 7.7 earthquake would ever hit the New Madrid Fault Zone in Missouri, wonder no more. A computer simulation shows how many people and cities would be devastated in real-time.
This animation shows the simulated ground motion of the Earth’s surface that could occur in the central U.S. region for a magnitude 7.7 strike-slip earthquake on the southern section of the New Madrid seismic zone.
At some point, this area, which is in the middle of the North American plate, will shake the entire region causing extreme damage that people aren't expecting. Here's why this region of the United...
What is the potential for a large New Madrid earthquake triggering an earthquake in the Wabash Valley? All we know is that this has not happened in the past few 1811-1812-sized New Madrid earthquake sequences.
A gentleman named Iben Browning predicted a large earthquake would hit on the New Madrid Seismic Zone on December 3rd, 1990, it didn't happen. Here is the story of his prediction, the fallout associated with that prediction, and the (mostly good) legacy that prediction has had on the area and it's earthquake preparedness.
Thirty years ago, Iben Browning, a self-proclaimed climatologist, predicted that the St. Louis area was in for a major earthquake along the New Madrid Seismic Zone.
There are hundreds of minor earthquakes each year in Missouri's New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ), but most of them are too small for people living in the area to feel.
The New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ), sometimes called the New Madrid Fault Line, 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 prediction made by climate consultant Iben Browning held that there'd be a "50 percent chance" of a magnitude 7 earthquake rocking the nation on this date. Browning also said that, if the quake came, it'd probably originate near the city of New Madrid (pronounced "MAD-rid") in southeastern Missouri.
