The New Madrid fault systems extends 120 miles southward from the area of Charleston, Missouri, and Cairo, Illinois, through New Madrid and Caruthersville, following Interstate 55 to Blytheville and on down to Marked Tree, Arkansas. It crosses five state lines and cuts across the Mississippi River in three places and the Ohio River in two places.

What is the purpose of making a geological timeline?
A geological timeline helps scientists understand the history of Earth, including the formation of rocks, minerals, and the evolution of life. It helps us track major events, such as mass extinctions, climate changes, and the movement of continents, providing important insights into the planet's past and present conditions. By studying the timeline, researchers can make predictions about future geological events and better comprehend environmental changes.

How does monitoring seismic images help us to understand how the world is made up?
Monitoring seismic images helps us understand the Earth's subsurface by detecting and mapping various geological features such as faults, rock layers, and potential energy resources. By studying these images, scientists can analyze the structure and composition of the Earth's crust, helping to inform our understanding of tectonic processes, earthquake hazards, and resources beneath the surface.
