Quake Maps

The Earthquake Location Map shows the earthquake's location and the surrounding region. The Isoseismal Map shows contours, derived from a model, of equal MMI shaking intensity for the earthquake. The Seismicity Map shows the current earthquake (indicated by a star) in the context of ten years of 'deep' (greater than 40 km) seismicity (indicated by coloured points). The inset shows a depth cross section of the seismicity and current earthquake, projected onto the plane W-E.
