Earthquake 101

Coming Soon…

We are in the process of updating this page to provide a comprehensive overview of earthquakes, their effects, and why, how, and where they occur—even in the central U.S.

Please check back soon to review our updates. In the meantime, we encourage you to visit the US Geological Survey (USGS) and Incorporated Research Institutes for Seismology (IRIS) websites which go into detail and addresses many different topics about earthquakes. You can visit their sites at:
