 Laurentian Slope Seismic Zone

The Laurentian Slope Seismic Zone refers to a region associated with geological and seismic activity off the eastern coast of North America, particularly in the Atlantic Ocean. It is situated along the continental slope and edge of the continental shelf, extending from the St. Lawrence River Valley down to the northeastern United States. This zone is characterized by earthquakes generated by tectonic processes related to the movement of the North American Plate and the interactions with neighboring tectonic plates.
