What happened at a transform plate boundary?
The plates slide against each other, causeing earthquakes.
Are there fault lines near Wisconsin?
Yes, there are several minor fault lines in Wisconsin, such as the St. Croix Horst and the Wausau-Rhinelander zone, but they are not considered active or a significant seismic threat. The region is not known for frequent or large earthquakes.
How many earthquakes happened in 2012?
In 2012, there were approximately 14,000 earthquakes recorded globally, with varying magnitudes. The frequency and intensity of earthquakes vary each year based on geological factors.
Which state would most likely experience a tsunami Hawaii or Wisconsin?
Hawaii would be more likely to experience a tsunami due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire," where most tsunamis are generated by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Wisconsin is located inland and is not exposed to tsunamis in the same way.
What types of plate boundaries are associated with deep earthquakes?
All of them. For example: the earthquake of 2010 in Chile happened along a convergent fault while the 2010 earthquake in Haiti happened along a transform fault. Source: I am just a genius...

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.
Would a strong earthquake be more likely to occur along a fault where few earthquakes have happened recently or along a fault where several minor earthquakes have happened recently explain?
it is more likely to have a strong earthquake where few recent earthquakes have happened
When did Battle of Wisconsin Heights happen?
Battle of Wisconsin Heights happened on 1832-07-21.

How do you know earthquakes happened?
Because they are detected by seismometers.
