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 ( S H ) and, possibly to a minor extent, through stress perturbations in response to glacio‐isostatic adjustment. This work comprises the first numerical stress simulation‐based study that predicts the preferred spatial distribution, trends, and sense of slip of contemporary fault reactivation, which may have implications for possible fault segmentation patterns in the WQSZ. We show that mostly NNW‐SSE to NW‐SE‐striking faults exhibit the highest slip tendency values. Spatial patterns of slip tendency and kinematics of reactivation are consistent with the observed seismicity. In an area where Quaternary‐active faults have yet to be systematically identified, we have narrowed down areas to focus on for more detailed, future neotectonic investigations that could provide sound foundation for seismic hazard assessments. This study demonstrates the applicability of slip tendency analysis to identifying potentially active faults in stable continental regions worldwide.

The bedrock escarpments of the Ottawa-Bonnechere Graben constitute the footwall of present-day reverse faults interpreted to result from reactivation of pre-existing normal fault structures under the current tectonic stress field.
“These escarpments constitute the footwall of present-day reverse faults which are interpreted to result from the reactivation of pre-existing normal fault structures under the current tectonic stress field (Rimando and Peace 2021) (Figure 1).”

The band of seismicity in the western Quebec seismic zone is linked to the present-day stress regime which reactivated Pre-Tertiary structures, mainly in a reverse kinematic sense with a minor strike-slip component.
“The band of seismicity in the WQSZ is linked to the present-day stress regime which reactivated the Pre-Tertiary structures, mainly in a reverse kinematic sense with a minor strike-slip component (Figure 1, 2) (Wallach et al. 1995, Rimando and Benn 2005, Rimando and Peace 2021).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
