It was a small part of HS Geology but more in Earthquake Engineering in college. Then again, I've experienced a few strong ground motion events living here in Anchorage all my life.This is a good read:

Back when I took earth science in high school, we studied the New Madrid fault zone fairly extensively, and I remember being pretty freaked out because we lived in the region. I can imagine that the people in that day & age were probably convinced it was the end of days. Quite a seismic event.
