Summary
The 2017 USGS South American seismic hazard model is based on: a uniform seismicity catalog, a smoothed (gridded) seismicity model, a subduction model, crustal fault model, and ground motion models that are described below. These models are combined to account for ground shaking from earthquakes on known faults as well as earthquakes on faults not included in the model.
