The city that is most famous for being on a fault line is the American city of San Francisco. This place has one of the biggest tendencies towards earthquakes
the reason some parts of the earth are more prone to having earthquakes is because of the fault line the cities are built on.
As soon as you name some cities, we'll jump right on this one.
The New Madrid Fault Line is a major fault line located in Missouri. It is known for producing some of the largest earthquakes in the central United States.
No. It is a noun. It may be used as an adjective with some other nouns, as in fault line or fault monitoring (the geologic use of the word).
The Marikina fault line passes through the Philippines including the cities of Makati, Marikina, Paranaque, Pasig, and Taguig. Scientist believe the largest threat, however, is to Manila.
Some provinces near the fault line in the Philippines include Batangas, Cavite, Rizal, Bulacan, and Pampanga. These provinces are located along the West Valley Fault, which is one of the major fault lines in the country.
Some places are heavily affected by earthquakes because they sit on or near a fault line. Christchurch, for example, sits near a fault line and is why it has frequent and strong earthquakes but practically everywhere in Australia is nowhere near a fault line so we get very littleearthquakes.
A large number of cities are built in earthquake zones on or near fault lines. Earthquakes can create nice deep harbours, hills with nice views and other topography to make a good place to build a city (San Francisco is good example). There are far too many cities to list here but many of the cities that have coastline on the Pacific ocean have fault lines nearby....

True. The San Andreas Fault is a major transform fault line in California that extends over 1300 km. It is a complex system of faults rather than a single continuous line, with some segments reaching depths of up to 16 km.
'Line conductors' are the three 'hot' conductors (A-B-C) that connect a three-phase supply to a three-phase load. In some cases, a pair of line conductors (e.g. A-B, B-C, or C-A) is used to supply a single-phase load. A 'line fault' can be a short-circuit fault between all three, or any two, of these line conductors -whether they supply a three-phase load or a single-phase load.
Dayton, Ohio is not located directly on a fault line. The closest major fault line to Dayton is the New Madrid Seismic Zone, which is located to the southwest along the Mississippi River. While Ohio does have some minor fault lines, they are not considered active or significant enough to pose a major seismic hazard to the Dayton area.
