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.

Are there any nuclear plants on fault lines?

Perhaps, because not all faults are apparent until they move. And to answer your question, yes, since there are many many faults located, there are also over 100 nuclear plants in the US itself and faults need to be built were cooling water is available, such as a river, and faults are originally located along some rivers. So yes, plants are built along fault lines inevitably.


Where are the fault lines in nh?

No, Auckland is not on a fault line. New Zealand's active fault lines begin around Fiordland, travel along Marlborough and from there they go from Wellington just up to Taupo and then off to the right. So, Auckland is really no where near a fault line. Earthquakes in other parts of New Zealand have previously been felt in Auckland, but never in a way strong enough to cause even minor damage. Us Aucklanders need not worry about quakes. Travelling out of Auckland I saw a small faultline in a cutting round about Papatoetoe - don't be too complacent - those volcano0es are not just for aesthetic purposes - they say (especially Rangitoto) that business is not finished in the Auckland Region.

Rainier and if I am not mistaken there is one in Alaska as well.


What is the worst fault line in US?

The largest and most famous earthquake fault in California is the San Andreas fault. It is 800 km long. It is significant because it runs through a heavily populated area (Los Angeles) and it is likely to do very serious damage some day. The San Andreas fault is a transform fault.
