Investigating seismotectonics in the eastern United States using a geographic information system
Description:
In the central and eastern U.S. (CEUS) the assessment of seismic hazard is problematic because the active tectonic features are generally not identified. Many ideas have been proposed to explain why earthquakes occur in the CEUS and which geologic structures are associated with the earthquakes. Earthquakes in the CEUS have been attributed to postglacial rebound, the reactivation of preexisting zones of weakness in the continental crust near extensions of oceanic fracture zones, stress concentra…
