No earthquakes of intensity V or above (Modified Mercalli Scale) have occurred within North Dakota during historical times according to the USGS National Earthquake Information Center. In recent times a few earthquakes have been felt in North Dakota from neighboring states such as Minnesota. One earthquake in May 1909 of magnitude 5.5 was recorded in North Dakota making North Dakota one of the few areas with the least number of earthquakes in the US.
In addition, Iowa, Maryland, Vermont, and Wisconsin also are in the group of states with the fewest recorded earthquakes.

What type of earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes?
