		Earthquake Fault Lines Fault Lines are where tectonic plates come into contact with one another and where the mantle is cracked or where there is a fissure. Fault lines create quakes because the ground is in a constant state of motion (very slow). Here is a picture of the fault lines that cover the earth. http://library.thinkquest.org/03oct/00758/en/disaster/earthquake/faultlines.html Here is another link to fault lines in the Rocky Mountain area. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learning/topics/faults_east.php It is important to note that the U.S. Geological Survey produces a worldwide map of seismological hazards every few years. The last map was produced in 2008. Here is a link to the map. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/research/hazmaps/products_data/2008/
