And they viewed the quake As a warn ing that contrary to popular misconception a major earthquake could occur in the new York area or anywhere along he East coast this is. In some ways a very timely warning of what can happen said or. David Simpson the senior research scientist Al Columbia University s Lamont Doherty Cic logical Observatory in Pali Sades . We should certainly be doing something about it Simpson continued. We should he looking carefully at engineering construction practices in the Northeast. We should be work ing with disaster Relief agencies to make sure they arc  or John excl the assistant director of Boston College s Weston Observatory in Wislon mass. Said it s not an impossibility that a major devastating earthquake could occur in the new York City  in i8b6, there was an earthquake of about magnitude 7 that look place near Charleston s.c.," he said. I think every building was damaged in Charleston some pretty severely. It s a matter of de Bate As to whether one of that magnitude could occur at other places along the East coast and. Right now we can t Rule out that  about inc. Inc registered 6.0 on the Richier scale la knocked out Power and Telephone service in some parts of Canada. And in new York City about 600 Miles away residents Felt a shaking thai lasted about 30 seconds. No fatalities were reported. This earthquake was potentially Ca Pable of very extensive damage 1 Simp son said but because in happened in a relatively unpopulated area inc damage was not  Ebel said an earthquake registering 6.0 on the Richier scale occurs on the aver age of once every 30 to 50 years in North Eastern North America. We be populated the area since 1620, and we know that there have been Earth quakes of that magnitude or greater in 1935, in Western Quebec in 1925. In the St. Lawrence River area Al Charlevoix not far from where this earthquake was entered list night and in 1870, also near Cha Levou Ebel said. Scientists arc not certain Why the Charl Voi area has been hit so frequently Beci said except thai Here Are several faults in the area As wed As a major Impact Structure from a meteor that struck tens of Mill ions of years  the most widespread earthquake re corded in inc northeastern United Stales occurred in 1755, and was Felt from Nova Scotia to what is now Washington we estimate that one Al about a 6.2," excl said. The strongest quake entered in the new York City area was in 1884. He said and registered Al 5.2. I think there was some very minor damage but certainly it was fell strongly by residents he said. On Del 19, 1985. A quake entered in Ardsley. N.y., in  county Shook the metropolitan area for Aboul to seconds. It registered 4.0. There is a i Conception both scientists said that major earthquakes occur Only on the Wesl coast especially along the san Andreas fault which runs from Northern California to Mexico. The fact is that major quakes Only occur less frequently in the East. We have As Many faults per Square mile is they do out in  Ebel said but Here we know that the faults arc hundreds of millions of years old while in California Many of hem formed in the last million years or so and Are therefore More geologically  not All quakes however even major ones arc associated with faults. The frequency of quakes on the West coast results from the fact that califor Nia is at inc Boundary of two of the Earth s tectonic plates the huge inexorably moving masses upon which the planet s continents ride. And the two plates arc rubbing against each other. The East coast on the other hand Sils in the Middle of one of those plates the North american plate which stretches from California to the Middle of inc at lactic Ocean. A quake registering 6.0 in new York City would cause a lot of damage Simp son said.
