Earthquakes and Plate Tectonics

Latest comment: 19 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

From Earthquakes and Plate Tectonics (USGS): "The interiors of the plates themselves are largely free of large earthquakes, that is, they are aseismic. There are notable exceptions to this. An obvious one is the 1811-1812 earthquakes at New Madrid, Missouri, and another is the 1886 earthquake at Charleston, South Carolina. As yet there is no satisfactory plate tectonic explanation for these isolated events; consequently, we will have to find alternative mechanisms. "
