Scientists have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/earth-space\/new-fault-new-jersey-april-earthquake-tewksbury\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">since discovered a new fault<\/a> that may explain why that quake was felt stronger farther away in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/local-weather\/new-york\/new-york-city\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York City<\/a> than closer to the epicenter.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">Seismologists say while quakes with low magnitudes may feel routine to those along the West Coast, they will be felt over a wider area in the East.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">Mountains in the West are constantly being pushed up, leading to crushed rocks that don&#8217;t transmit seismic energy as easily as more condensed, less seismically-disturbed ground in the East. So, an earthquake of the same size in the East will be felt over a much wider area than in the West.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/earth-space\/paramus-new-jersey-earthquake\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A small earthquake was reported near Paramus, New Jersey, on Friday.
