When was new madrids last major earthquake?
Earthquakes occur in the New Madrid seismic zone every day. Most of them are so small (magnitudes 0, 1, 2...) that they can't be felt, only recorded by an instrument. The faults in the New Madrid seismic zone are active, producing these small events all the time. If you mean Madrid, Spain, you can do an earthquake search by googling "international seismological centre".
Where is earthquakes most likely to occur?
earthquakes are most likely to occur on the rim of tectonic plates
What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Do most earthquakes occur around earthquake valley?
Please more specific, as earthquakes occur worldwide.

What is seismic zoning?
A small area of a country or state where earthquakes occur frequently.

What causes earthquakes to happen?
Earth's tectonic plates move and seismic waves begin to occur.
What makes the new Madrid earthquakes different than most other major earthquakes?
Most earthquakes occur along plate boundaries, which was not true of the New Madrid earthquakes. It was an unusual earthquake because of its location, duration and intensity for that location.
