I am not familiar with where the earth’s faults are located. I have heard this could happen, I just wanted to know if anyone else knows that this can happen or has any information they can offer in reference to this. Thanks!

Chosen Answer:

Zero chance. That being said, the Mississippi River Valley is the location of an ancient rift system and earthqukes do happen, principally in the area from Jonesboro, Arkansas to New Madrid, Missouri. New Madrid was the site of very intense earthquake activity in late 1811 and early 1812
