1925 Charlevoix–Kamouraska earthquake
The 1925 Charlevoix–Kamouraska earthquake struck northeastern North America on February 28, reaching 6.2 on the moment magnitude scale.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The 1925 Charlevoix-Kamouraska earthquake )〕 It was one of the most powerful measured in Canada in the 20th century,〔 with a maximum perceived intensity of VIII (''Severe'') on the Mercalli intensity scale at its epicentre in the area of Charlevoix-Kamouraska along the Saint Lawrence River near île aux Lièvres and not greater than VI (''Strong'') in the United States. The quake was felt in Quebec, Shawinigan, Montreal, as far south as Virginia, and as far west as the Mississippi River.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Intensity of the 1925 Charlevoix-Kamouraska Earthquake )〕
==Damage==
It caused damage in three separate areas. The first had extreme damage constricted to a narrow belt 20 miles long on both shores of the Saint Lawrence River near the epicentre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Damage caused by the 1925 Charlevoix-Kamouraska earthquake )〕 In this area, damage at the villages of Baie-Saint-Paul, Saint-Urbain, Les Éboulements, Pointe-au-Pic, La Malbaie, Tadoussac and the other nearby villages of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatière, Saint-Pacôme, Rivière-Ouelle, Saint-Philippe, Saint-Denis, and Saint-Pascal on the south shore, was mostly related to the magnitude of the earthquake itself, and to some extent by the deep grainy soil on which many of the destroyed buildings were built.〔 The two other damaged areas were Quebec City and in the Trois-Rivières - Shawinigan area, where the destruction was more extensive, not so much due to the strength of the earthquake, but rather to the uneven nature of the landscape.〔
