   Why the New Madrid Fault is the most dangerous?

   • Why is the New Madrid fault dangerous? Due to the harder, colder, drier and less fractured nature of the rocks in the earth’s crust in the central United States, earthquakes in this region shake and damage an area approximately 20 times larger than earthquakes in California and most other active seismic areas.

   Why is the New Madrid Fault important?

   • Why Is The New Madrid Fault Important? In 1811–12, the New Madrid fault system produced large earthquakes near this city, and future large earthquakes will occur near the fault system. Smaller earthquakes were recorded in the area since 1812.

   Where is the New Madrid fault located?

   • The New Madrid Fault is located beneath the Mississippi River Valley in the Midwest United States. It is part of the North American tectonic plate and the major fault among four, located in this region. It is yet to be confirmed if these faults intersect or are unique to each other. Faults result from cracks and breaks in rock formations.

   What type of fault is in the New Madrid Fault?

   • The seismically most active fault within the New Madrid seismic zone is the Reelfoot reverse fault that extends northwest from near Dyersburg, Tennessee, to New Madrid, Missouri ( Figs. 1 and 2) ( Van Arsdale et al., 1995a, 1999 ).

   The simulation is based on a detailed geologic model of the central U.S. and is intended to show the general character of the long-period ground shaking expected for a large earthquake in the New Madrid seismic zone. It demonstrates the profound focusing effect the Reelfoot rift has on ground shaking produced by earthquakes.
