Fault lines are really located everywhere, but it's usually the major fault lines that you need to worry about. The recent Virginia earthquake, which occurred on Aug. 23, 2011, was not related to any major geological fault line. However, geologists are concerned with the New York-Alabama Lineament, which is a major magnetic fault line that runs from New York to Alabama.
See the Related Link below for more information on fault lines in the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains.
One significant fault line on the East Coast of the US is the Fall Line, which runs along the Appalachian Mountains from Pennsylvania to Georgia. This geological feature marks the boundary between the hard rock of the mountains and the softer sedimentary rock of the coastal plain. Another notable fault line is the Ramapo Fault, located in New York and New Jersey.
