Where are the fault lines on East Coast of US?
Fault lines are really located everywhere, but it's usually the major fault lines that you need to worry about. The recent Virginia earthquake, which occurred on Aug. 23, 2011, was not related to any major geological fault line. However, geologists are concerned with the New York-Alabama Lineament, which is a major magnetic fault line that runs from New York to Alabama. See the Related Link below for more information on fault lines in the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains.
Does Virginia have a fault line?
Virginia is not located on a major fault line. The state is located in the middle of a tectonic plate, which is why Virginia has a much lower rate of earthquakes than California, which is on the edge of a tectonic plate. That being said, Virginia is home to a smaller seismic zone, which does result in lower magnitude earthquakes. A smaller seismic zone results from small, interlaced fault lines in the bedrock. See the Related Links below for more information.
