Locations of quakes magnitude 2.5 or greater in the Wabash Valley (upper right) and New Madrid (lower left) Seismic Zones. The Wabash Valley seismic zone (also known as the Wabash Valley fault system or fault zone) is a tectonic region located in the Midwestern United States, centered on the valley of the lower Wabash River, along the state line between southeastern Illinois and southwestern ...
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 ...

A small earthquake could be felt early Saturday morning near Alliance. Did you feel it?
The earthquake originated roughly four miles southeast of Madison, Lake County, and could be felt as far away as Akron, Lorain and Erie, Pennsylvania. Northeast Ohio shook by 3.6 magnitude ...
The first, six-level intensity scale was proposed by Egen in 1828 for an earthquake in Rhineland. [4] [5] Robert Mallet coined the term "isoseismal" and produced a map for the 1857 Basilicata earthquake with a three-fold intensity scale and used this and other information to identify the epicentral area (a term he also coined). [6]
Southern Ohio was in for a slight − and temporary − shake on Monday afternoon, when a 3.3 magnitude earthquake hit the area. The U.S. Geological Survey reported that the seismic event occurred ...
