I recommend the USGS earthquake site, which has a listing of the most recent earthquakes in (nearly) every state. At the time of this writing, it says the last earthquake in Ohio was October 24, 2010, near the Ohio/West Virginia border with the closest city being Marietta.

If you live in North Dakota or Wisconsin, there's no listing, as there have been no earthquakes of any significance (greater than 3.5 moment magnitude) there for at least 30 years.

Which region in India was last hit by an earthquake what was the cause of the earthquake?

The last major earthquake in India occurred in the state of Assam in April 2021. The earthquake was caused by the Indian tectonic plate colliding with the Eurasian plate, resulting in seismic activity along the boundary.


When was Californias last major occurrence?

The most recent significant California earthquake was the 1994 Northridge earthquake, magnitude 6.7, which killed around 60 people. The last earthquake above magnitude 7 in California was the 1999 Hector Mine earthquake, magnitude 7.1. There were no deaths due to it occurring in the middle of the Mojave desert.


How many earthquakes happened in Wisconsin?

Wisconsin is not located near a plate boundary so there is very limited tectonic activity. According to the US Geological Survey the last earthquake recorded in Wisconsin of note was a magnitude 4.2 event that occurred on 6 May, 1947 causing very minor damage (some broken windows) in the City of Kenosha. People in other areas (the Earthquake was felt over a 7770 square kilometer area of southeastern Wisconsin) reported that the shaking caused plates or glasses to fall from shelves, however no people were injured during the event! The majority of other earthquakes felt by people in Wisconsin actually occurred in other states or in Canada. This is backed up by the seismic hazard map for Wisconsin which shows that earthquakes likely to occur in Wisconsin will typically have very low ground accelerations.


Which state in the US has experienced a major earthquake magnitude 7.0 or greater in the last 200 years?

Alaska has experienced several major earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.0 or greater in the last 200 years. Notably, the 1964 Alaska earthquake, also known as the Great Alaska earthquake, had a magnitude of 9.2 and is the second most powerful earthquake ever recorded.


How many years ago was the last major earthquake?

The last major earthquake occurred within the last few years, depending on the location. Earthquakes happen frequently worldwide, but significant events are less frequent. It is important to stay informed about seismic activity in your region.
