When building a house, regional seismic hazard maps are used to find the best (or the worst) place to locate for earthquake shaking. Although greatly confused with its sister, seismic risk, seismic hazard is the study of expected earthquake ground motions at any point on the earth.The calculations for seismic hazard, first formulated by C. Allin Cornell in 1968, can be quite complex. First, the regional geology and seismology is examined for patterns (using seismometers and earthquake location). Zones of similar potential for seismicity are drawn.
