Formed by Juan de Fuca Plate converging and slidingbeneath North American Plate
Three types ofearthquakes:
Megathrust
Deep interface
Can affect widegeographic area and
give rise to tsunamis Long period seismic waves

CHARLEVOIX SEISMIC ZONE OVERVIEW
Seismicity in eastern Canada is very different
Part of the stable interior of the North American Plate
Relatively low level of earthquake activity
Causes of earthquakes inthis area are not well known
Related to re ional stressfields
Crustal weakness
