Seismicity of the New York City area is relatively low. [1] New York is less seismically active than California because it is far from any plate boundaries. Large and damaging intraplate earthquakes are relatively rare. When they do occur in the Northeastern United States, the areas affected by them are much larger than for earthquakes of ...
Earthquakes in New York City are less common than locations directly on the Mid-Atlantic plate boundary like Iceland and the Azores. The largest known earthquake in this region occurred in 1884, probably somewhere between Brooklyn and Sandy Hook, and had a magnitude of approximately 5. East Coast quakes effect a larger area than quakes of ...
Ramapo Fault. The Ramapo Fault zone is a system of faults between the northern Appalachian Mountains and Piedmont areas to the east. [1] Spanning more than 185 miles (298 km) in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, it is perhaps the best known fault zone in the Mid-Atlantic region, and some small earthquakes have been known to occur in its ...
A rare magnitude 4.8 earthquake rattled New Jersey on Friday, shaking buildings in Manhattan and sending tremors across the Northeast United States, a region unfamiliar with much seismic activity.
The New York Times Ron Wertheimer felt the numerous subplots left the film feeling fragmented and confusing, and that it presented New York in an unrealistic light, even before the earthquake hits.

The ground rumbled Friday beneath New York City, home to famous skyscrapers like the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center. The 4.8 magnitude quake on Friday morning was centered about ...
Dyckman Street Fault. The Dyckman Street Fault is a seismologically active fault in New York City which runs parallel along the southern border of Inwood Hill Park, crossing the Harlem River and into Morris Heights. [1] As recently as 1989, activity of this fault caused a magnitude 2 earthquake. [2] [3] [4]
