Earthquake shocks also hit in 1921 and 1982, but leading scholars said bigger quakes are unlikely. “Most large earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries. San Francisco is on one; Boston is not. A large earthquake is highly improbable in Boston, although one cannot be absolutely ruled out,” said Hooper Professor of Geology Paul F. Hoffman.
