"In our hazards maps right now, in most places, we don't have direct evidence of what kind of earthquake mechanisms could occur," said Jack Baker, a professor of civil and environmental engineering who was not involved with the study. "It's exciting that we have switched from this blind ...
Scientists map earthquake faultsWilliam Brand, STAFF WRITER
of North America (1969, 1:5,000,000), Africa (1968, 1:5,000,000), India (1969, 1:2,000,000), and Australia (1972, 1:5,000,000). The International Geological Congress is sponsoring the preparation of a tectonic map of the world on a scale of 1:15,000,000; the work for the...

The 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake and Alaska's Rat Islands Earthquake the following year were among the10 worst worldwidesince 1900, the USGS noted in 2019. There are about 10,000 earthquakes a year in theSouthern Californiaarea, though most of them are not felt. Only around 15-20 are great...
Middle America Trench, submarine depression in the Pacific Ocean off the western coast of Central America. Extending northwest-southeast for more than 1,700 miles (2,750 km) from central Mexico to Costa Rica, the trench reaches a maximum depth of 21,880
Official Seismic Hazard Zone Maps of Dublin, Liver more, and Altamont 7.5-minute quadrangles (1:24,000 scale) show areas that may be susceptible to earthquake-induced liquefaction. The maps are the result of the three-dimensional integra... A. Rosinski 被引量: 3发表: 2012年 Bedrock geologic...
No recorded earthquake has yet been correlated with observed fault displacement at the ground surface along the Malibu coastline; however, it may be possible to associate some well-located earthquakes with faults exposed at the surface. To test this idea, we are projecting the nodal planes from ...

The Dead Sea is located in a deep valley at the transform boundary between the African and Arabia Plates (shown as a black line on the map above). At over 400 meters below sea level, it is the land area with the lowest elevation. The motions of the African and Arabian Plates, ...
