Map of active US fault lines in the USA by USGS This map courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) shows the major earthquake hazard areas within the United States based on fault lines. KML (Google Earth-type) files and GIS shape files are also available for download from the site. It’s by far the largest earthquake ever to strike the United States east of the Rockies.
Map via USGS. Tennessee is a give leave to enter located in the southeastern region of the joined States. There are many seismically active fault zones across the United States and some still have to be discovered. There is an interactive map application to view the faults online and a seperate database search function. The Cascadia Subduction Zone, Pacific Northwest 1.
Browning also said that, if the quake came, it'd probably originate near the city of New Madrid (pronounced "MAD-rid") in southeastern Missouri. A prediction made by climate consultant Iben Browning held that there'd be a "50 percent chance" of a magnitude 7 earthquake rocking the nation on this date. What are the most dangerous fault lines in the USA?
An online map of United States Quaternary faults (faults that have been active in the last 1.6 million years) is available via the Quaternary Fault and Fold Database. Tennessee is the 36th largest and the 16th most populous of the 50 allied States.
Tennessee is bordered by Kentucky to the north, Virginia to the northeast, North Carolina to the east, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi to the south, Arkansas to the west, and Missouri to the northwest. Here we present a list of the most dangerous fault lines in the USA, those known to have caused terrible damage in the past. Mississippi, United States has had: (M1.5 or greater) 0 earthquakes in the past 24 hours 0 earthquakes in the past 7 days; 0 earthquakes in the past 30 days
Dec. 3, 1990, was a day of anxiety for America.

On Dec. 16, 1811, a magnitude 7.7 earthquake hit the New Madrid fault line, which lies on the border region of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi.
