Brevard Fault Zone in its extent from Montgomery, Alabama to the North-Carolina-Virginia border. The Brevard Fault Zone is a 700-km [1] long and several km-wide thrust fault that extends from the North Carolina-Virginia border, runs through the north metro Atlanta area, and ends near Montgomery, Alabama.
It was the strongest earthquake recorded in North Carolina in 104 years, the second-strongest in the state's history, and the largest to strike the East Coast since the 2011 Virginia earthquake. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It caused damage to homes and businesses in Sparta and injured at least one person. [ 4 ]

Earthquakes in the New Madrid and Wabash Valley seismic zones from 1974 to 2002, with magnitudes larger than 2.5. The zone had four of the largest earthquakes in recorded North American history, with moment magnitudes estimated to be as large as 7 or greater, all occurring within a 3-month period between December 1811 and February 1812. Many of ...
To map the subduction zone, researchers at sea performed active source seismic imaging, a technique that sends sound to the ocean floor and then processes the echoes that return. The method is ...
The Flinn-Engdahl regions (or F-E regions) comprise a set of contiguous seismic zones which cover the Earth's surface. In seismology, they are the standard for localizing earthquakes. The scheme was proposed in 1965 [1] by Edward A. Flinn and E. R. Engdahl. The first official definition was published in 1974 [2] and later revised in 1995. [3]
