FranMichigan 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.
