10. The New Madrid fault is named because

of the New Madrid quakes of 1811-1812. New Madrid is in the bootheel of Missouri, nowhere near the Great Lakes.

Here's a link to the Wikipedia entry for that fault. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Madrid_Seismic_Zone

John Nance's excellent earthquake book On Shaky Ground has the best coverage of those quakes I've ever read.
