" There are 2 major geological faults in southwestern Newfoundland. The
Cape Ray Fault is about 1 km wide and crosses the Trans-Canada Highway
(TCH) between the entrance to John T Cheeseman Provincial Park and
Barachois Brook. This fault extends for about 100kms (60 miles) and
eventually crosses the Burgeo Highway.

The largest and most important fault in the area is the Long Range
Fault (Cabot Fault) which runs from the bridge crossing the TCH at
McDougall's Brook to the northeast coast of Newfoundland at the Baie
Verte Peninsula. This fault also runs through Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick. The Long Range Fault once marked the boundary between North
America and Europe before the two continents separated about 200
million years ago.

Neither one of these faults is active. "
