The New Madrid Seismic Zone is primarily located on the North American Plate. It is situated near the boundary of the North American Plate and the smaller, ancient tectonic features associated with the failed rifting of the Continental Craton. While it is not directly at a plate boundary, the seismic activity in the region is influenced by intraplate stresses within the North American Plate.
