The New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ), also known as the New Madrid fault line, is a major seismic zone in the Midwestern and Southern United States, known for frequent, albeit mostly small, earthquakes. It's located in the Mississippi Valley, spanning parts of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Oklahoma. The region is of particular concern due to the 1811-1812 earthquakes, which were among the largest in US history and had far-reaching effects, according to the City of New Madrid, MO. 

The 2024 total solar eclipse's path of totality crossed North America, starting in Mexico, moving through the United States, and ending in Canada. In the US, the path passed through Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, with parts of Tennessee and Michigan also experiencing totality. The eclipse exited the continent on the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • Mexico: The eclipse began in Mazatlán, Sinaloa. 

  • United States: The path entered the US in Texas and moved northeast, encompassing parts of several states as mentioned above. 

  • Canada: The eclipse continued into Canada, affecting the eastern provinces. 

  • Atlantic Ocean: The eclipse ended as it moved into the Atlantic Ocean. 

The path of totality, where the moon completely blocks the sun, was approximately 115 miles wide, according to EclipseWise. The maximum duration of totality was about 4 minutes and 27 seconds near Torreon, Mexico.
