Difference between Earthquake and New Madrid Seismic Zone

Earthquake vs. New Madrid Seismic Zone

An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves. The New Madrid Seismic Zone, sometimes called the New Madrid Fault Line, is a major seismic zone and a prolific source of intraplate earthquakes (earthquakes within a tectonic plate) in the southern and midwestern United States, stretching to the southwest from New Madrid, Missouri.

Similarities between Earthquake and New Madrid Seismic Zone

Earthquake and New Madrid Seismic Zone have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aftershock, Earthquake prediction, Fault (geology), Plate tectonics, San Andreas Fault, Seismicity, United States Geological Survey, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens.

Aftershock

An aftershock is a smaller earthquake that occurs after a previous large earthquake, in the same area of the main shock.

Earthquake prediction

Earthquake prediction is a branch of the science of seismology concerned with the specification of the time, location, and magnitude of future earthquakes within stated limits, and particularly "the determination of parameters for the next strong earthquake to occur in a region.

Fault (geology)

In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movement.

Plate tectonics

Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the τεκτονικός "pertaining to building") is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago.
