Abstract
Pop-ups (elongated domes) in quarries at Terrebonne and St. Eustache near Montreal suggest that the region is in nearly east-west compression. Wrench faulting on pre-existing normal faults could be an important response to this stress, as it was to similar stress during the late Paleozoic, and this concept may therefore be important in assessing earthquake hazard in the region.
