Fig. 4From: Testing various seismic potential models for hazard estimation against a historical earthquake catalog in JapanDistributions of the late Quaternary faults (left) and epicenters of synthetic earthquakes (right). Kumamoto’s (1997) Maximum Length model for the late Quaternary faults is mapped. Each synthetic event has its own recurrence interval, which is not shown in the figure. Thus, the concentration of events does not necessarily indicate high activity.Back to article page
