Re: Would a big earthquake hit the state of Indiana?

Trevor,

It is very unlikely that a big earthquake would hit the state of Indiana.  
The reason is that most large earthquakes occur where the plates of the 
earths crust meet and bump together.  And in the United States one of these 
places where a couple of plates (North American Plate and Pacific 
Plate) touch together is in California,  The San Andreas Fault.  Which is 
why Ca. has so many earthquakes.  

Indiana however, is in the middle of these one plates (North American 
Plate. Therefore, earthquakes occur far less frequently and with much less 
strength.

But remember that the earth is a dynamic system and that anything is 
possible, no matter how remote.
