New Fault Found Beneath New Jersey | Newark News
Description
An earthquake that rattled the East Coast in April may have come from a hidden fault zone scientists just discovered — the Mountainville Fault Zone. Previously thought to be the Ramapo Fault, new research reveals this newly mapped zone caused the magnitude 4.8 quake felt from Maine to Virginia. While minor damage occurred in Essex and Morris counties, the event served as a wake-up call for seismic preparedness. Experts are now closely monitoring this fault, emphasizing how critical understanding underground activity is for future safety in the region.
