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 ...
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 ...
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.
Location of the Clarendon-Linden fault system in Western New York. The Clarendon-Linden fault system is a major series of fault lines in western New York state, in the United States. It extends through Orleans, Genesee, Wyoming, and into Allegany counties and is responsible for much of the seismic activity in the region. The system is named in ...
The Ramapo Fault System is the longest in the northeastern U.S., stretching from Pennsylvania to southeastern New York. Map of the Ramapo Fault System: Earthquake epicenter at Lebanon, NJ.
The Dyckman Street Fault is a seismologically active fault in New York City which runs parallel along the southern border of Inwood Hill Park, crossing the Harlem River and into Morris Heights. [ 1 ] As recently as 1989, activity of this fault caused a magnitude 2 earthquake .

These faults are part of a twin system of normal faults that run along the base of two parallel mountain ranges; the Sierra Nevada on the west and the Inyo Mountains on the east of the Owens Valley, and formed fault scarps from north of Big Pine, 55 miles (89 km) north of Lone Pine, to Haiwee Reservoir (30 miles (48 km)) south of Lone Pine.
