Interactive Global Distribution of Earthquakes and Tectonic Plates Earth’s surface is not a single unbroken shell but a mosaic of tectonic plates that slowly move over the planet’s interior. Where these plates meet, they interact in powerful ways: some collide and force one plate beneath another, some pull apart to create new crust, and others…
The following briefly discusses constructing an earthquake scenario using a user-defined fault database. For details, see Create Crustal Fault Database. It is assumed that a fault database is created using Construct Earthquake Scenarios and Conduct Ground Motion Analysis sandbox or other means outside the program. As shown in Figure 1, the user-stored segment data is…

The following is a brief discussion on creating and saving a database of fault segments. The segments created by this module can be used in the Construct Earthquake Scenarios and Conduct Ground Motion Analysis module to simulate multi-segmented earthquake scenarios for GM analysis. Figure 1 shows a sample page for creating a fault segment, in…
