A type of seismic zone is a Wadati–Benioff zone which corresponds with the down-going slab in a subduction zone. [2] The world's greatest seismic belt, known as the Circum-Pacific seismic belt, [3] is where a majority of the Earth's quakes occur. Approximately 81% of major earthquakes occur along this belt.

In other words, the earthquake zoning map of India divides India into 4 seismic zones (Zone 2, 3, 4 and 5) unlike its previous version, which consisted of five or six zones for the country. According to the present zoning map, Zone 5 expects the highest level of seismicity whereas Zone 2 is associated with the lowest level of seismicity.

The seismic classification in Italy (Italian: Classificazione sismica dell'Italia) is the subdivision of the territory of Italy into specific areas, characterized by a common seismic risk. Currently the seismic classification of the Italian territory into zones has remained exclusively for statistical and administrative aspects.

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]
