Hidden Fury
The New Madrid Earthquake Zone

The danger posed by the New Madrid earthquake zone along the Mississippi River.


A printer-friendly version of this page 27 minutes
Produced by Doug Prose/Earth Images Foundation



The New Madrid earthquake zone, located along the Mississippi River near Memphis, Tennessee, has received little attention in recent years. But in 1811 it was the site of the most powerful series of earthquakes ever known on earth. Some two million square miles were affected, and shocks were felt as far away as Montreal, Canada - 1,200 miles from the epicenter.

According to experts, another major earthquake will likely occur in the New Madrid Earthquake Zone in the next 50 years. With the aid of computer graphics, the geologic characteristics of the region and the tectonic nature of earthquakes are explained. Additionally, the relatively stable region of the central United States is compared to the well-known seismicity of California. This is a fascinating science adventure that, for many people, will hit very close to home.
