Earthquake Intensity Zones
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The dataset shows earthquake intensity zones in accordance with the 1956 version of the Modified Mercalli Scale (MM).
Description
The intensity describes exclusively the effects of an earthquake on the surface of the earth and integrates numerous parameters (such as ground acceleration, duration of an earthquake, subsoil effects). It also includes historical earthquake reports.
The risk grading is based on expectations for a period of 50 years, corresponding to the mean service life of modern buildings. The probability that degrees of intensity shown on the map will be exceeded in 50 years is 20 per cent. This probability figure varies with time; i.e., it is lower for shorter periods and higher for longer periods.
