    Global Seismic Hazard Map

    Uploaded by

    badlearner
    This document is a global seismic hazard map produced by the Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP) in 1999. The map shows peak ground acceleration values with a 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years (equivalent to a 475-year return period) as a measure of earthquake hazard. The map ranges from low hazard areas of less than 0.2 m/s2 to very high hazard areas of over 4.8 m/s2, providing a global overview of seismic hazard levels.
