No, that’s not actually the News Madrid Fault. But it is one of the group of fault systems including the New Madrid Fault that somewhat determined the course of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, in that part of N. America. Basically, the Earth is still rebounding from the last period of major glaciation, and the crust is weak / fractured in that region.
See! Climate change DOES cause earthquakes. Just not the way the loony lefties think, and not due to humans...
Thanks for the clarification.
An excellent point you make: “Basically, the Earth is still rebounding from the last period of major glaciation, and the crust is weak / fractured in that region”.
