New Madrid Earthquake Zone

FEMA recently released a map of the United States indicating the locations of potential natural disasters. One of the prominent locations noted is the New Madrid Fault Zone. Perhaps the grandfather of all earthquakes occurred along the New Madrid Fault Zone. Three giant earthquakes struck the area in 1811 and 1812. While there was no seismic equipment during that time to measure the effects of the earthquakes, the largest is estimated to have been an 8.0 on the Richter Scale. The New Madrid Earthquakes caused large areas to sink and many new lakes to form. Some say that it was so powerful that it caused the Mississippi River to flow backwards for several days. Thousands of acres of forests were flattened and houses and crops sank. Few people were killed because the area was sparsely populated at the time. To put the quake in perspective, the recent Pakistan earthquake that killed almost 40,000 people had a magnitude of 7.6. An earthquake of the magnitude 8.0 would have the same effect as detonating 6 million tons of TNT. The New Madrid Fault Zone is still active and lies halfway between St. Louis and Memphis. If a repeat of the New Madrid Earthquakes occurred today, it could result in tremendous devastation and loss of life. http://www.ericwilder.com http://ericwilder.blogspot.com http://ghostofachance.blogspot.com http://energyissues.modblog.com
