Canada could expect a major earthquake at any time and a top geophysicist says it should prepare itself if it is to avoid the kind of disasters that befell Japan, Italy and China in recent years.
加拿大可在任何時間預期發生一場大地震，和一位頂級地球物理學家說，如果為了避開近年來降臨日本、意大利和中國的災難，應該要作好準備。
The most vulnerable region is the West Coast, which has been hit with giant, magnitude-9.0 quakes 13 times in the last 6,000 years, the last of them 311 years ago. B.C. is in the window in which a massive earthquake is more likely to occur, but that window spans 200 to 850 years.
最脆弱的地區是西海岸，那在過去6,000年已被巨大的裡氏9.0級地震打擊13次，最後的一次是311年前。在大型地震窗口的英屬哥倫比亞是更有可能發生的，但該窗口的跨度是200至850年。
Besides the West Coast, other seismic hotspots in Canada include the Ottawa and St. Lawrence valleys, the North Atlantic off Cape Breton and the Arctic off Baffin Island. The quietest seismic region incorporates Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Northern Ontario.
不單衹西海岸，加拿大其它的地震熱點包括渥太華和聖勞倫斯河流域，布雷頓角對開的北大西洋和北極對開海面的巴芬島。最安靜的地震地區納入了薩斯喀徹溫省、曼尼托巴省和安大略省北部。

10 largest earthquakes ever located in Canada or its territorial waters. Note that many large earthquakes occuring in neighbouring Alaska or Washington state have also affected residents in western Canada. Magnitudes for earthquakes prior to the 20th century are less precise as they have been estimated from non-instrumental data. (Source: EarthquakesCanada)
