O seu hipocentro localiza-se na região NE de Arraiolos, perto da Aldeia da Serra, geograficamente localizado a 38,79 N, 7,93 W e a profundidade de 11 km (relatório do Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera - IPMA). Devido à sua magnitude moderada, o terramoto não causou qualquer dano, mas foi amplamente sentido no. 2018.

  3. The largest earthquakes in Algeria in the modern period: the El Asnam and Zemmouri-Boumerd s faults. Algeria has experienced many destructive earthquakes during the last few centuries (e.g., Ayadi and Bezzeghoud, 2015). The city of El Asnam (formerly Orléanville, today Chlef) was severely damaged in 1954 and 1980 by magnitude 6.7 and 7.3 earthquakes, respectively. On October 10, 1989, a magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck the Mont Chenoua-Tipasa coastal area approximately 150 km west of Zemmouri, whi. 2017.

  4. Maximum Observed Intensity Map for the Azores Archipelago (Portugal) from 1522- 2012 seismic catalogue. The Azores archipelago is a seismically active region composed of nine islands and located at the triple junction of the American, Nubian, and Eurasian plates. Since its settlement in the fifteenth century, 33 earthquakes with intensity higher than VII have been reported. This article shows areas that experienced strong ground shaking using maximum observed intensity (MOI) mapping. For this purpos. 2017.

  5. Large earthquakes in the Azores. The history of the Azores archipelago, from its discovery and settlement in the rst half of the 15th century through the present, is marked by the social and economic impacts produced by earthquakes, mainly the high-intensity ones. Information that has been compiled leads to the conclusion that in this period, 33 earthquakes with intensity equal to or greater than VII have affected the Azores, whi. 2017.

One condition to perform seismic hazard analysis is knowledge about seismogenic zones that is an invaluable source of information and play an important role because it is fundamental know the processes and properties that control the seismogenic zone. The aim of this work is distinguishing seismogenic zones in the Azores region applying different parameters such as the earthquake density, b-values. 2014.
