That's not on a plate boundary ...
it might have become one if the rift valley that should/could/shud-of
split North America in two had completed forming.

The state of Missouri has a higher risk of earthquakes because it sits on the edges of several plate boundaries. The series of faults located in the state are called The New Madrid Fault.
No because the New Madrid quakes occurred far inland, so therefore no tsunami was generated by the plate tectonics under a large body of water as is the mechanism for most earthquake-generated tsunamis. However, the New Madrid fault earthquake did cause the Mississippi river to flow backwards.

The New Madrid earthquakes of 1811-1812 occurred near the New Madrid Seismic Zone in the central United States. This region is not located near a traditional tectonic plate boundary, but rather is an intraplate seismic zone within the North American Plate. The earthquakes are believed to be the result of ancient faults within the continent that are reactivated due to regional stress.
The New Madrid Seismic zone is in the middle of the North American Plate.
recessive plate boundary
The plate boundary near New York is the North American Plate boundary. This boundary is a divergent boundary, meaning that the North American Plate is moving away from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which runs along the eastern coastline of the United States.
Yes it is. It is home to the Mid-Atlantic ridge, a divergent plate boundary, where new crust (sea floor) is created. by your mom
New oceanic crust is created at the mid-oceanic ridges, a divergent plate boundary.
Divergent plate boundary.
The boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Pacific Plate is mainly a divergent boundary in the region of the East Pacific Rise and a transform boundary along the Tonga Trench and the Alpine Fault in New Zealand. Additionally, there are some regions of convergence near New Zealand and the New Hebrides Trench.
The 'South Island'. A collision boundary.
At a divergent plate boundary, where new crust is created by infilling magma, creating igneous rock.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is not actually a tectonic plate, but a divergent boundary between plates where new oceanic crust is being created on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. To the north, it marks the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate. To the south, it separates the African Plate from the South American Plate.
No, Carlsbad Caverns is not on a tectonic plate boundary. The caverns are located in southeastern New Mexico, which is not near any major plate boundary.
