seismic hazard of the Carpathian region

Seismicity and seismic hazard of the Carpathian region of Ukraine

Seismic hazard problems in the Carpathian region of Ukraine are considered. By analysis of seismological and structure-geological data estimates of maximum seismic shakeability are obtained. It is shown that an earthquakes with intensity by 1 - 7 may be occur with the probability of 0.001 on the territory of Ukrainian part of the Eastern- European platform's edge and Forecarpathian depression, and with intensity by I = 8 - in Transcarpathian region and near by Carpathian mountains.
