Michigan sits in the middle of the North American Plate, so it is not located near any active tectonic plate boundaries where earthquakes typically occur. Although Michigan has experienced some minor seismic activity in the past, it is not prone to large earthquakes due to its stable location within the interior of a tectonic plate.

Why do earthquakes occur in Michigan?
Earthquakes in Michigan are relatively rare due to the state being located away from tectonic plate boundaries. However, earthquakes can occur in Michigan due to the reactivation of ancient faults or induced seismic activity from activities like fracking or wastewater injection. The relatively low frequency and magnitude of earthquakes in Michigan are attributed to its stable geologic setting.
