It refers to the predictable strength of an earthquake in a certain locality or area.
Answer (1)
Answer:Seismic Hazard.The likelihood that a particular degree of ground shaking (as well as other earthquake effects) will occur in a particular location within a specific time frame is known as seismic hazard. It is predicated on the region's geological features (such as the existence of active faults), historical earthquake activity, and knowledge of earthquake origins and wave propagation.Although the precise time and magnitude of future earthquakes cannot be predicted, seismic hazard assessment helps us understand the potential strength of earthquakes that are likely to occur in a given locality, enabling better infrastructure planning, building codes, and preparedness measures.
