seismic maps
Fault zone diagrams
Seismic maps display earthquake-related data across geographic areas—fault lines, historical tremor locations, or zones of seismic risk.
Engineers and urban planners consult them when designing buildings or infrastructure: The seismic map showed we were building directly over an active fault.
Insurance companies use them to assess earthquake risk for properties.
