This assessment revealed that hazard maps for the U.S. (California), Japan, Italy, Nepal and France seemed to overpredict earthquake damage.

The offshore earthquake located 28 kilometers southwest of Sarangani, Davao Occidental, generated significant ground shaking felt at Intensity 6 to 8 (very strong to very destructive) in General ...

Forecasts of pipeline damage typically consider earthquake-induced ground failures like surface faulting, landslides, and liquefaction as separate key hazards. But a new methodology created by N ...

Thicker sediments increase seismic hazard by intensifying ground shaking during an earthquake. Discover the latest in science, tech, and space with over 100,000 subscribers who rely on Phys.org ...

Nearly three-quarters of U.S. states could experience damaging shaking from earthquakes in the next century, according to the government’s latest National Seismic Hazard Model, which is used to ...

Hazard maps are shown for different time frames, known as return periods, which help us understand the likelihood of different levels of ground shaking over time.

The “ground shaking hazard maps” were generated by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), said Nancy Bantog, Cordillera director of the Department of Science and ...

The U.S. Geological Survey's new seismic hazard maps, released this week, show two more earthquake faults in Western Washington: one near the Canadian border, the other east of Port Angeles.

If you just felt the ground shaking, ... national seismic hazard maps from the U.S. Geological Survey describe how many strong earthquakes are likely to happen in the next 10,000 years in the ...
