Along the San Andrea's fault which runs along the California coast line and up into Alaska.
Fault lines are really located everywhere, but it's usually the major fault lines that you need to worry about. The recent Virginia earthquake, which occurred on Aug. 23, 2011, was not related to any major geological fault line. However, geologists are concerned with the New York-Alabama Lineament, which is a major magnetic fault line that runs from New York to Alabama. See the Related Link below for more information on fault lines in the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains.
There are at least two US geologic features called the "Emerson Fault" : one in Georgia and one in southern California. NORTHERN GEORGIA The Emerson Fault is a geologic feature associated with the creation of the Appalachian Mountains. It runs from northern Alabama to near Carterville in northern Georgia. (see related question) SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA The Emerson Fault, Camp Rock Fault, and Copper Mountain Fault form a 100 km line through the Mojave Desert north and east of Barstow, CA. These faults, among others, were involved in the Landers earthquake of 1992, which occurred north of Yucca Valley and Palm Springs, CA.
The San Andreas Fault in California is a prominent example of a transform fault line that can be seen from the air. This fault marks the boundary between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates, and its displacement has created visible linear features on the landscape. When flying over the region, you can observe the distinct straight paths and scarred terrain that trace the fault's course. The San Andreas Fault is well-known for its geological significance and the potential for seismic activity.
Earthquakes in the middle US states are a concern because the fault line there could lead to the highest loss in economy due to a natural disaster.
