Reactivation Potential of Intraplate Faults in the Western Quebec Seismic Zone, Eastern Canada

Abstract The intraplate western Quebec seismic zone (WQSZ) in eastern Canada experiences moderate seismicity that mainly results from reactivation of inherited structures under the present‐day, NE‐SW‐striking regional maximum horizontal stress (SH) and, possibly to a minor extent, through stress per...
