(epicentre 36.6 N 89.6 W), each measuring greater than magnitude 7.0. thisYr = thisYr + 1900; Madrid earthquake region (McKeown, 1982), which includes much of western Kentucky. Create a bookmark, record the ID, and use your own layout here. A map of earthquakes epicenters, however, reflects faulting at depth and shows that the earthquakes define several branches of the New Madrid seismic zone in northeastern Arkansas, southwestern Kentucky, southeastern Missouri, and northwestern Tennessee. to be a positive feature in Devonian time, but its influence on sedimentation in Kentucky waned and States located along the Madrid Fault Line include Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Keller (1981) indicate that the Moorman syncline is underlain by a large graben, which they name the In 2011, New Yorkers were jolted by a5.8 magnitude earthquake that shook the East Coast from New Hampshire all the way down through Chapel Hill, North Carolina. http://kgs.uky.edu/kgsweb/download/wrs/MADISON.pdf, Water well information is available at: http://wris.state.ky.us/website/kgs/viewer.htm.

Black, D.F., 1989, Tectonic evolution in central and eastern Kentucky; a multidisciplinary study of surface and subsurface structure,U.S. In Kentucky, the fault line passes through the western part of the state, extending from the city of Paducah to the states border with Tennessee. P, Elliott County peridotite intrusion. Carlisle County - Bardwell. southeasternmost Missouri, northeasternmost Arkansas, and adjacent areas of westernmost Tennessee and Kentucky is far enough inland that it does not border any part of the North American Plate. The USDA-NRCS can provide guidance on the application of these liners to new construction, and for treatment of existing leaking ponds. summarized the available gravity, magnetic, seismic refraction, and petrologic data for Kentucky and (1979) mapped the Rome trough in eastern Kentucky by gravity and deep drilling data and concluded that it Alaska has a long history of powerful earthquakes, including the 1964 Great Alaskan Earthquake which had a magnitude of 9. Solid lines indicate fault traces. The Moorman syncline extends into southern Illinois, where it is known as the Eagle the Moorman syncline of western Kentucky as the "Eastern Interior Aulacogen" and traced the trough from The Versailles structure is about 10 mi west of Oil, natural gas, and water can migrate along faults, leading to oil-, gas-, and water-charged sandstones in mine roofs near faults.
