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 ...
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 ...
A magnitude 4.8 earthquake shook the East Coast shortly after 10:20 a.m. Friday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey. (USGS)
New Jersey experienced a 4.8 magnitude earthquake, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Here is the science behind the cause and the Ramapo Fault.
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 ...
On April 5, 2024, at 10:23 EDT (14:23 UTC), a M w 4.8 earthquake occurred in the U.S. state of New Jersey, with the epicenter in Tewksbury Township.While it was felt across the New York metropolitan area, Delaware Valley, the Washington D.C metropolitan area, and other parts of the northeastern United States between Virginia and Maine, it had a relatively minor impact, with no major damage ...
New Jersey has had several small earthquakes since the end of 2020, but they were all of a magnitude of less than 2.5, which barely registers, according to Michigan Tech University.
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.
