Additionally, Taylor is close to fault lines in central Texas, increasing the risk of earthquakes, albeit at a relatively low frequency.
The geological features in the region, including nearby fault lines, mountain peaks, and water bodies, play a role in shaping the natural hazard risks for Taylor, Texas. While the area is not directly on a fault line, the proximity to fault lines in central Texas increases the potential for seismic activity.
