Smoothed seismicity model The smoothed seismicity model is based on a uniform seismicity catalog that is used to assess the location and rate of future earthquakes. This catalog is declustered by removing foreshocks and aftershocks so that only independent events are considered, as required in the probabilistic probabilistic methodolgy used to assess seismic hazard. Future seismicity rates are estimated by counting historical earthquakes in a grid with a cell dimension of 0.1 degrees in latitude and longitude. These gridded earthquake rates are smoothed using a 50 kilometer fixed length smoothing kernel. Separate rate models were developed for the craton and active tectonic regions for earthquake depths between 0 and 50 km. Gridded...

They represent the chance of experiencing potentially damaging ground shaking for fixed ground shaking levels that corresponds with MMI = VI. The values are obtained by averaging the probability of experiencing MMI = VI based on a peak ground acceleration value of 0.1155 g for site class D, and the probability of experiencing MMI = VI based on 1.0-second spectral acceleration value of 0.102 g for site class D. The data are for the Central and Eastern United States.

Earthquake, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Hazard, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Risk, Seismic, South America, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela, Fewer tags Ground motion model In develpoing the hazard model for South America, the USGS considered the ground motion models (GMM) used for the conterminous United States because most of the equations consider global earthquakes and because the U.S. and South America are seismically quite similar, with the potential for active subduction, deep intraslab, crustal, and craton earthquakes. Included here is a table that summarizes the GMMs selected for each of the earthquake types and the weight applied within the model.

The maps and data are based on the average of the results obtained from peak ground acceleration and 1.0-second horizontal spectral acceleration.
