The 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake struck Vancouver Island on the coast of British Columbia, Canada, on June 23 at 10:15 a.m. [1] with a magnitude estimated at 7.0 Ms [2] and 7.5 Mw. [6] The main shock epicenter occurred in the Forbidden Plateau area northwest of Courtenay.
The 2010 Central Canada earthquake occurred with a moment magnitude of 5.0 in Central Canada on 23 June at about 13:41:41 EDT and lasted about 30 seconds. [3] [4] The epicentre was situated approximately 56 kilometres (35 mi) north of Ottawa, Ontario, [5] in the municipality of Val-des-Bois, Quebec. [6] Canada's capital, Ottawa, declared this ...
The 1663 Charlevoix earthquake occurred on February 5 in New France (now the Canadian province of Quebec ), and was assessed to have a moment magnitude of between 7.3 and 7.9. [2] The earthquake occurred at 5:30 p.m. local time and was estimated to have a maximum perceived intensity of X ( Extreme) on the Mercalli intensity scale.
A pie chart comparing the seismic moment release of the three largest earthquakes for the hundred-year period from 1906 to 2005 with that for all earthquakes of magnitudes <6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8, and >8 for the same period. The 2011 Japan quake would be roughly similar to Sumatra. Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018.
131 killed. The 1964 Alaskan earthquake, also known as the Great Alaskan earthquake and Good Friday earthquake, occurred at 5:36 PM AKST on Good Friday, March 27, 1964. [2] Across south-central Alaska, ground fissures, collapsing structures, and tsunamis resulting from the earthquake caused about 131 deaths. [3]
Six large earthquakes have occurred along the Queen Charlotte Fault within the last hundred years: a magnitude 7 event in 1929, a magnitude 8.1 in 1949 (Canada's largest recorded earthquake since the 1700 Cascadia earthquake), a magnitude 7.8 in 1958, a magnitude 7.4 in 1970, a magnitude 7.8 in 2012, and a magnitude 7.6 in 2013.
