New York Earthquake

Despite what you may think, areas in and around the east coast are not immune to earthquakes. In in January of 2001, a 2.5 magnitude earthquake was reportedly felt from the tip of Manhattan to areas throughout New Jersey. Though the tremors came as a shock to the east coast, there was no reported damages or injuries from the quake. Geologists are still unsure about what caused the quake.

    As we learned, most earthquakes usually happen at the edges of tectonic plates.
