(a) Map of target earthquakes with magnitude =5.0 from 1 January 2004 to 31 December 2008. Diamonds (circles) indicate the locations of target earthquakes with a probability greater (less) than 0.5 that the earthquake falls in any cells of the study volume. The study region is enclosed by a box. The lightly colored dashed line indicates an area coved by the top layer of the Hazmap model. The dark solid line indicates an area of the subducted Philippine sea plate as the second layer. The third layer covers the whole study area. (b) Schematic illustration of a vertical section of layered models for estimating hazard rates. The horizontally layered EEPAS model is reframed into the three-layered model labeling the Eurasian Plate, Philippine Sea Plate, and Pacific Plate.
