English: This map shows the seismic hazard zones in the United States. It also shows the states which are at a higher risk of receiving earthquakes. Date: 3 April 2012:
The 1948 seismic codes were prepared in consideration of the seismic zone map. A new code was revised in 1961 and in 1963, the seismic zonation map was updated with four hazard levels based on predicted shaking on the Modified Mercalli intensity scale. It was subsequently added a fifth hazard level in the 1972 revision. [12]
Surface motion map for a hypothetical earthquake on the northern portion of the Hayward Fault Zone and its presumed northern extension, the Rodgers Creek Fault Zone. A seismic hazard is the probability that an earthquake will occur in a given geographic area, within a given window of time, and with ground motion intensity exceeding a given threshold.
Why the Geological Survey produced the earthquake map. In this file photo from 2018, a geologist collects samples of spatter for laboratory analysis after the eruption of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano ...

In a paper on seismic activity in Michigan published in 1977, geologist D. Michael Bricker listed 34 earthquakes with epicenters in the state — 30 from fault-slippage activity and four man-made ...
To map the subduction zone, researchers at sea performed active source seismic imaging, a technique that sends sound to the ocean floor and then processes the echoes that return. The method is ...
Earthquake epicenters 1963–98. In seismology, a seismic zone or seismic belt is an area of seismicity potentially sharing a common cause. It can be referred to as an earthquake belt as well. It may also be a region on a map for which a common areal rate of seismicity is assumed for the purpose of calculating probabilistic ground motions.
