An Entity of Type: earthquake, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The 1663 Charlevoix earthquake occurred on February 5 in New France (now the Canadian province of Quebec), and was assessed to have a moment magnitude of between 7.3 and 7.9. The earthquake occurred at 5:30 p.m. local time and was estimated to have a maximum perceived intensity of X (Extreme) on the Mercalli intensity scale. The main shock epicentre is suggested to have occurred along the Saint Lawrence River, between the mouth of the Malbaie River on the north and the mouth of the Ouelle River on the south. A large portion of eastern North America felt the effects. Landslides and underwater sediment slumps were a primary characteristic of the event with much of the destruction occurring near the epicentral region of the St. Lawrence estuary and also in the area of the Saguenay Graben.

  • The 1663 Charlevoix earthquake occurred on February 5 in New France (now the Canadian province of Quebec), and was assessed to have a moment magnitude of between 7.3 and 7.9. The earthquake occurred at 5:30 p.m. local time and was estimated to have a maximum perceived intensity of X (Extreme) on the Mercalli intensity scale. The main shock epicentre is suggested to have occurred along the Saint Lawrence River, between the mouth of the Malbaie River on the north and the mouth of the Ouelle River on the south. A large portion of eastern North America felt the effects. Landslides and underwater sediment slumps were a primary characteristic of the event with much of the destruction occurring near the epicentral region of the St. Lawrence estuary and also in the area of the Saguenay Graben. The event occurred during the early European settlement of North America and some of the best recorded first hand accounts were from Catholic missionaries that were working in the area. These records were scrutinized to help determine the scale of damage and estimate the magnitude of the quake in the absence of abundant records from that time period. (en)
  • Le séisme de 1663 dans Charlevoix est un séisme survenu le 5 février 1663 vers 17 h 30 en Nouvelle-France. Sa magnitude est de 7,3 et 7,9 sur l'échelle de Mercalli et son intensité maximale ressentie aurait atteint le stade X (intense). Il est supposé que l'épicentre principal se trouvait près de l'estuaire du Saint-Laurent, entre l'embouchure des rivières Malbaie au nord et Ouelle au sud. Certains auteurs (Locat et Al.) localisent l'épicentre du séisme plus au nord à proximité de la ville de Saguenay (41° 21' de lat N Long -70° 50') et évalue sa magnitude M minimale à 7.6. Une grande partie du Nord-Est de l'Amérique du Nord ressentie les secousses sismiques. Plusieurs glissements de terrain et affaissements sous-marins se produisent à la suite du tremblement mais les différents récits de l'époque ne relatent pas de destructions civiles notables. (fr)
