QUESTION 51) Based on Figure 1. (Map of Earthquakes with magnitude >/= 2.5 in Canada 1660-2008)on page 2 from Cassidy et. al. (2010) which province/territory is MOST likely to experience an Earthquake of Magnitude 8.0 – 9.0. A) British Columbia B) Nova Scotia C) Nunavut D) Manitoba E) Alberta F) Ontario G) New Brunswick H) Saskatchewan I) Newfoundland and Labrador QUESTION 52) Causes of Earthquakes in Canada (Which of the following statements is INCORRECT) A) Canada Experiences approximately 4000 earthquakes each year B) The Largest earthquakes occur along the West coast of Canada C) The Earthquakes in Eastern Canada can be found in relation to the St. Lawrence River. D) The central Craton of Canada is very unstable with multiple faults and earthquakes in this region E) Earthquakes that occur in the Labrador Sea are associated with the breakup of the supercontinent of Pangea. QUESTION 53) The first earthquake reported in Canada occured in the southeastern end of Georgian Bay, ON (“prior to 1637”). We are aware that this earthquake occurred because of A) The POLARIS earthquake monitoring network B) Huron oral traditions C) Journal entries by Captain George Vancouver D) Seismometer and seismograph measurements E) All of the above
