What are the chances of a large earthquake in Ontario?
The odds of Ontario to have a large scale earthquake is slim to none due to the fact that Ontario doesn't sit on a fault line. The fault lines are what causes earthquake. For example, San Fransisco sits directly on top of the San Andreas fault line. When an earthquake hits, the impact is always devastating. Even recently with the 7.0 earthquake in Haiti, Haiti sits close to the Carribean fault line. This is what caused the Earthquake. Waterloo Ontario had an earthquake @1:48pmr June 23 2010 "3.5 or higher"
