A damaging earthquake affecting New York City in 1884 was incorrectly argued to be caused by the Ramapo fault, likely because it is the most prominent mapped fault in the greater New York City area. At the present, the relationship between faults and earthquakes in the New York City area is understood to be more complex than any simple ...

In top figure, closed red circles show 1924–2006 epicenters. Open black circles show larger earthquakes of 1737, 1783 and 1884. Green lines are the Ramapo fault. Seismicity of the New York City area is relatively low. [1] New York is less seismically active than California because it is far from any plate boundaries.
A newly found fault line with a rare slanted angle shows why an earthquake rattled New York City in April harder than its epicenter in New Jersey — and may be a bigger seismic activity threat ...

The magnitude-4.8 earthquake was the strongest in New Jersey in over 200 years. The United States Geological Survey said in a news conference that more earthquakes are possible, with statistical ...
Some cities that lie along the Piedmont–Coastal Plain fall line include the following (from north to south): New Brunswick, New Jersey on the Raritan River; Princeton, New Jersey, on the Millstone River; Trenton, New Jersey, on the Delaware River. [2] Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the Schuylkill River. [4] Wilmington, Delaware, on the ...
Scientists have yet to pinpoint the fault that ruptured in New Jersey on April 5 and rattled much of the Northeast. Now, U.S. Geological Survey researchers are in the process of installing new ...
