The West Coast lies on a boundary where sections of Earth’s crust rub together, causing stress and slippage along fault lines that generate earthquakes relatively often.
East Coast earthquakes aren’t common, but they are felt by millions. Here’s what to know Since 1950 there have only been about 20 East Coast quakes with a magnitude above 4.5, according to the U.S.
This type of interaction makes the West Coast highly vulnerable to strong earthquakes. Fault lines exist within tectonic plates, as well.
