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.

Where is the New Madrid Memorial Library in New Madrid located?
The address of the New Madrid Memorial Library is: 431 Mill Street, New Madrid, 63869 1948
What is the web address of the New Madrid Historical Museum in New Madrid Missouri?

Why does Missouri have a high earthquake risk rating?
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.
Did an earthquake cause Samoa's tsunami?
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.
What were the deaths of the new Madrid earthquake in 1811?
1 death
What was the plate boundary at the new Madrid earthquake in 1811?
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.
What tectonic plate is the new Madrid fault associated with?
The New Madrid Seismic zone is in the middle of the North American Plate.
Is the Atlantic Ocean the site of a spreading plate boundary?
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
What plate boundary is near New York?
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.
What do you call a plate boundary in which no new crust is made or destroyed?
recessive plate boundary
Where is oceanic crust created?
New oceanic crust is created at the mid-oceanic ridges, a divergent plate boundary.
What boundary does new crust form at?
Divergent plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary is the indo-australian plate and pacific plate?
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.
What island of New-zealand is bisected by a plate boundary and what kind of plate is this?
The 'South Island'. A collision boundary.
At which boundary would it be easiest to obtain igneous rocks?
At a divergent plate boundary, where new crust is created by infilling magma, creating igneous rock.
What type of plate is the Mid Atlantic Ridge?
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.
Where is the Epicenter of largest US earthquake in the 48 contiguous states?
The largest earthquake in the contiguous United States occurred near New Madrid, Missouri, in 1811. This area is not located on a tectonic plate boundary but rather within the North American Plate, where stress builds up and is released periodically in large earthquakes.
