1 answer

The ranking of the cities you provided in order of earthquake risk, from high risk to low risk, is as follows:

  1. San Francisco, CA - High risk due to its location along the San Andreas Fault and a history of significant earthquakes.
  2. Little Rock, AR - Moderate risk, as it is near the New Madrid Seismic Zone, which has potential for seismic activity.
  3. New Orleans, LA - Low risk for earthquakes, although it can experience minor tremors, it is not located near significant fault lines.
  4. Miami, FL - Lowest risk among the listed cities. It's situated in a geologically stable area with very little seismic activity.

This ranking is based on geological assessments of each area's susceptibility to earthquakes.
