the Madrid Fault line runs where?
201663
I don't know for sure, I believe it mainly affects the Arkansas and Missouri area.  It is likely related to the Ozarks, and caused that huge earthquake in the early 1900s near St. Louis.\n\nTo answer the other question, there is also a San Andreas fault system and plate in California but that is losely related to this fault system.

Geologic faults or simply faults are planar rock fractures which show evidence of relative movement. Large faults within the Earth's crust are the result of shear motion and active fault zones are the causal locations of most earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by energy release during rapid slippage along faults. The largest examples are at tectonic plate boundaries, but many faults occur far from active plate boundaries. Since faults usually do not consist of a single, clean fracture, the term fault zone is used when referring to the zone of complex deformation associated with the fault plane.\n\nThe two sides of a fault are called the hanging wall and footwall. By definition, the hanging wall occurs above the fault and the footwall occurs below the fault.\n\n\nStrike-slip faults\nThe fault surface is usually near vertical and the footwall moves either left or right or laterally with very small vertical motion. Strike-slip faults with left-lateral motion are also known as sinistral faults. Those with right-lateral motion are also known as dextral faults. A special class of strike-slip faults is the transform faults which are a plate tectonics feature related to spreading centers such as mid-ocean ridges.\n\n(i wish i could type the photo i have as well)

The San Andreas fault ruptured 430 km from San Juan Bautista to the Cape Mendocino triple junction. The motion was predominately right-lateral strike-slip, with a peak displacement of 6 meters near Olema, Ca. which is located 37 miles NW of San Francisco.

Because of the major fault line running through it. Do a Google on 'fault line' and California.

Salaam sadiq,\nUnderwater, on the side of one of the Canary Islands, there's several cubic kilometres of rock which could slide to the ocean floor at any time; maybe next week (not very likely) or some time in the next few thousand years.   It's on the west side of the island, so it will be more of a threat to North America than to Morocco or Europe but, yes, there is a possibility of a tsunami striking your Atlantic coast.

The Earth is formed of several layers that have very different physical and chemical properties. The outer layer, which averages about 70 kilometers in thickness, consists of about a dozen large, irregularly shaped plates that slide over, under and past each other on top of the partly molten inner layer. Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries where the plates meet. In fact, the locations of earthquakes and the kinds of ruptures they produce help scientists define the plate boundaries. \nThere are three types of plate boundaries: spreading zones, transform faults, and subduction zones. At spreading zones, molten rock rises, pushing two plates apart and adding new material at their edges. Most spreading zones are found in oceans; for example, the North American and Eurasian plates are spreading apart along the mid-Atlantic ridge. Spreading zones usually have earthquakes at shallow depths (within 30 kilometers of the surface).  \n\nTransform faults are found where plates slide past one another. An example of a transform-fault plate boundary is the San Andreas fault, along the coast of California and northwestern Mexico. Earthquakes at transform faults tend to occur at shallow depths and form fairly straight linear patterns. \n\nSubduction zones are found where one plate overrides, or subducts, another, pushing it downward into the mantle where it melts. An example of a subduction-zone plate boundary is found along the northwest coast of the United States, western Canada, and southern Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. Subduction zones are characterized by deep-ocean trenches, shallow to deep earthquakes, and mountain ranges containing active volcanoes.\n\nEarthquakes can also occur within plates, although plate-boundary earthquakes are much more common. Less than 10 percent of all earthquakes occur within plate interiors. As plates continue to move and plate boundaries change over geologic time, weakened boundary regions become part of the interiors of the plates. These zones of weakness within the continents can cause earthquakes in response to stresses that originate at the edges of the plate or in the deeper crust. The New Madrid earthquakes of 1811-1812 and the 1886 Charleston earthquake occurred within the North American plate.

Gotta be Texas.  A VERY large portion of it is flat, and most of it is near sea level.

San Andreas Fault is an active plate boundry between the Pacific Plate and theNorthAmerican Plate.
