no its the least most expected there to be an earthquake 'cause im from Manitoba :D
There is a small to moderate risk of a major earthquake in Mexico. Last earthquakes with major loss of live were recorded on 1957 and 1985 with magnitudes of 7.9 and 8.1 on the Richter scale.
No place on earth is truly 'earthquake free.' Manitoba, however, is certainly not located in what might be called a high risk area. Of course, neither is Toronto, yet we have felt a few minor earthquakes over the years. But none caused any damage worthy of note. The US Geological Survey has lots of information about earthquakes. Check out their website. (See below.)
Missouri tends to have a high risk of earthquakes occurring because it has a fault line called the New Madrid that runs through it. Missouri is one of the most dangerous states to live in in terms of earthquake activity.
Earthquakes usually occur when two tectonic plates push against each other. All the high-risk areas are along fault lines, or boundaries between two plates.
West coast probably has the worst earthquakes in the US.
On the Pacific coast there are many major falult lines in the earth.

San Fransisco, or anywhere else in California.
San Francisco is one area at high risk; the San Andreas fault is quite active. Any area near a fault line is at high risk of earthquake activity.

The "New Madrid" fault line runs through it.
Very high. Virtually all seismologists, referring to a large scale earthquake in Southern California say it is not a matter of if - it is only a matter of when. Even more grimly, there are more than a few seismologists that say southern California is over-due for a "big one".
