Abstract: | A probabilistic seismic hazard assessment was performed for the Japanese islands and surrounding areas. Seismic hazard parameters
characteristic of the seismic history of the regions were obtained. The probability of occurrence of a large M ≥ 7 earthquake
within a 10- and 50-year period was also calculated. Regions of very high levels of hazard occur where the Pacific, Phillipine
and Eurasian Plates meet. High probabilities of occurrence of a large M ≥ 7 earthquake within a 10- and 50-year period occur
within the region where the Pacific Plate subducts with the Eurasian Plate. |
