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 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 ...
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 ...
