Explore: Seismic Event Location

general sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes can occur naturally or be induced by human

deep injection of wastewater by the oil industry. A huge number of seismic events in oil and gas extraction states like Oklahoma is caused by increasing

The New Madrid seismic zone (NMSZ), sometimes called the New Madrid fault line (or fault zone or fault system), is a major seismic zone and a prolific

correction. Seismic migration is the process by which seismic events are geometrically re-located in either space or time to the location the event occurred

A seismic wave is a mechanical wave of acoustic energy that travels through the Earth or another planetary body. It can result from an earthquake (or

caused by an earthquake at a given location. Magnitudes are usually determined from measurements of an earthquake's seismic waves as recorded on a seismogram

Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) Seismic Intensity Scale (known in Japan as the 震度(Shindo) seismic scale) is a seismic intensity scale used in Japan to

Seismicity is a measure encompassing earthquake occurrences, mechanisms, and magnitude at a given geographical location. As such, it summarizes a region's

MCS) measures the effects of an earthquake at a given location. This is in contrast with the seismic magnitude usually reported for an earthquake. Magnitude

boundary. Forecasting a probable timing, location, magnitude and other important features of a forthcoming seismic event is called earthquake prediction. Various
