I am trying to find out if there is a major earthquake falt line in NEW YORK ?
413455
Apparently, there are fault lines running through New York City (see sources #1 and #2) and throughout upstate New York state (see source #3). \n\nI was surprised about this as well, because I had assumed (incorrectly) that the fault lines were all Western.

Yes.  The New Madrid Fault line made an earthquake 8.4 in 1811.  It made the Mississippi Rive flow backwards.  It has not had a major release since, but small 3.0's and 4.0's occur all the time.  Check out this website.  \n\nhttp://erp-web.er.usgs.gov/reports/abstract/1996/cu/g2733.htm\n\n\nhttp://earthquake.usgs.gov/

Not real sure what you want to do, but, go here;\nhttp://quake.wr.usgs.gov/research/deformation/modeling/eqmodel.html

simply go search for crustal earhquakes,it's that easy.The search bar can pull up anything imaginable.

Go to this website... you can find out what time it is in NY at this moment of time (i mean, the time when you are reading this answer)\nhttp://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=179

Depends what you mean by "the 10 most recent earthquakes".  Many tiny earthquakes have occured all over the earth since I started typing this answer.  Do you want the 10 most recent measurable earthquakes in a particular area (around your city, say)?  Or the 10 most recent large damaging earthquakes?\n\nhttp://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/index.html has a map of the most recent quakes in my part of the world; http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Quakes/quakes0.html lists them, something like 260 in the last week.\n\nhttp://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.php lists all quakes > magnitude 2.5 in the US, or > magnitude 4.0 in the whole world in the last week  The list shows quakes over magnitude 6.0 (big ones!) in red; at the moment it shows 8 of them in the last week.  http://gldss7.cr.usgs.gov/neis/qed/qed.html has a similar list, going back about a month, along with a map.

Go to www.usgs.gov.  It's a great site that gives you all sorts of information about earthquaktes, faultlines, etc. I'm not sure if you can view all of North America, but as there are so many faultlines, it may be best to view it in smaller areas.  Good luck and enjoy exploring!

Yes. \n\nThe earthquake starts when the two massive land masses on each side of the fault line break loose, as the Masses are trying to move and build up tremendous pressure in the fault (The actual crack between land Masses) builds and finally releases when the land Masses suddenly jolt apart causing an oscillation  resulting in an earthquake. \n\nGood question, \n\nDarryl S.

Sure.  There was a recent Transit strike in NY, and all of the numbers were tallied.  I would contact the Port Authority.  However, the quickest way might be to call the "Help" desk for the Borough of Manhattan, or even better, call the Mayors Office (People are generally suprised to find out that calls are answered promptly and courteously.) At the very least, they'll refer you to the right place.  Good Luck.

The last quake that occurred within two miles of the city of SF was "the Great SF Quake of 1906." (April 18th) The epicenter was 2 miles offshore...I believe.\n\nThe 1989 quake (VERY SCARY!) was actually not centered in SF. It's epicenter was about 10 miles from Santa Cruz. However, it was felt ALL over the bay area. SF was damaged mostly because of landfill liquidation. (October 17th)\n\nThe spooky part is that the 1989 was 7.0/7.1 (debated) magnatude, but the 1906 quake was 7.8/8.3 (debated)! The 7.0 was enough for me! I still get a little jittery...and if I see 5:04pm, it always makes me have flashbacks.

Here is the USGS list of historic earthquakes. It does include many (probably too many) events since 1980. There are links on the page that will lead to you lists sorted by region, magnitude, etc.:\nhttp://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/world/historical.php\n\nHere is the list of volcanic eruptions that have had more than 300 casualties. It is a little harder to sort out the most significant volcanic eruptions since we have no scale for comparing them.\nhttp://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Hazards/Effects/Fatalities.html\n\nCORRECTION: THERE IS A SCALE FOR VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS, BUT THOSE ARE NOT CLASSIFIED USING THE VEI SCALE:\nhttp://lvo.wr.usgs.gov/sizes.html\n\nThis site at the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program is searchable by year, and has links to each significant eruption:\nhttp://www.volcano.si.edu/world/find_eruptions.cfm\n\nI haven't seen this but thought this CD from the Smithsonian looked interesting. It has a global dataset of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes since 1960 (but costs $20).\nhttp://www.volcano.si.edu/info/products/eqerupt/eqerupt.cfm\n\nHere is the USGS list of Historical Landslides starting in 1958 and continuing to date:\nhttp://landslides.usgs.gov/learningeducation/historical.php\n\nHere is a list of major Pacific tsunamis from 1981 to 1997 at the Russian Academy of Science. :\nhttp://omzg.sscc.ru/tsulab/recent.html\nThe site has quite a few other lists of tsunami events grouped by ocean basin.\nhttp://omzg.sscc.ru/tsulab/\n\n\nAnother type of geologic event that is hard to pinpoint because it is a gradual process is subsidence. This is an informative website that lists various types of subsidence and where it is happening:\nhttp://www.earthsci.org/processes/struct/subside/Subsidence.htm

Try http://earthquake.usgs.gov/ Thats where I go whenever I want to look up anything on current/recent earthquakes.

i heard they are planning to build one near ny\nright now - i think nobody

They had an earthquake there a few years ago. I heard that Georgia had an earthquake. I was talking to my mother about it and said, "I didn't even know they had a fault under them." That's when she told me it was the Georgia in Russia not in the U.S. I was clueless. :)
