Earthquakes mostly occur along the edges of the largest plates.
I think this is because the plates are colliding and grinding against each other.
The area is called The Ring of Fire.
The earthquake closest to Manitou Springs is M2.8 quake by Albuquerque, NM.
The details of this earthquake are it occurred on Saturday, January 17, 2009 at 1:02am.
No one would have been able to feel this earthquake because it was too small.
About 1000 times more ground shaking would occur with this magnitude 3 earthquake than a magnitude 1 earthquake.
About 16788 times more energy would be released from this magnitude 3 earthquake than a magnitude 1 earthquake.
Mauritius was a 5.1 magnitude earthquake that occured Wednesday, January 21, 2009 at 10:27:57 AM 195 miles E of Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
Earthquakes do not occur often in this area.
Most earthquakes generally occur around the boundaries of tectonic plates.
People can stay away from buildings to protect themselves from earthquakes.
