The shock had a moment magnitude of 7.2 and a maximum Rossi–Forel intensity of VI (''Strong tremor'') and was centered in the Atlantic Ocean off the south coast of Newfoundland in the Laurentian Slope Seismic Zone. ==Earthquake==
The earthquake was centred on the edge of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, about south of the island. It was felt as far away as New York and Montreal. The quake, along two faults south of the Burin Peninsula, triggered a large submarine landslide (). It snapped 12 submarine transatlantic telegraph cables and led to a tsunami that arrived in three waves, each 3 to 4 metres high, that struck the coast at about three hours after the earthquake occurred. The waves travelled at speeds up to at the epicentre; they were recorded as far away as Portugal.
