Explore where earthquakes occur and are felt in Canada with an interactive map of the country's seismic zones and faults.
Earthquakes in Canada
Canada experiences thousands of small earthquakes every year, concentrated in active seismic zones and fault systems. This map highlights 11 of the most active earthquake regions and seismic zones across the country.
The dataset, search index and coordinates are bundled into the page, so there is no database query and nothing is uploaded on a visit.
How this works
- Static dataset embedded in the site.
- Leaflet renders the interactive map in the browser.
- Search and filtering happen client-side.
- No application database is required for a page view.
Frequently asked questions
How many earthquake regions are on this map?
This map features 11 of Canada's most notable earthquake regions, with a name, region and map marker for each one. It is a curated sample, not an exhaustive directory.
Does this page upload anything?
No. The full location dataset is bundled with the page and search runs entirely in your browser. The map requests OpenStreetMap tiles to render the geography, nothing more.
Where does the activity data come from?
Earthquakes Canada / Natural Resources Canada. Points mark regions, not specific quakes.
Is this a complete or official list of Canada's earthquake regions?
No — this is a prototype selection, not an exhaustive official database. Treat it as a starting point and re-check official sources before relying on it for planning or research.
