Thus, earthquakes represent at least a moderate hazard to East Coast cities. Earthquakes in the greater New York City area affect most of New Jersey, the most densely populated state in the United States, as well as New York City. It is difficult to discern the extent to which the Ramapo fault itself (or any other specific mapped fault in the ...
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.

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.
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 ...
New York City has its own share of faults (beyond the rats and street garbage problem). A series of small fault lines run underneath the city, one from west Central Park to east downtown and ...
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.
