| Abstract | Scientists assess potential earthquake hazards along known faults by studying past earthquakes that have occurred along those faults. Because earthquake recurrence intervals may be hundreds to thousands of years for any given fault, the number of earthquakes directly observed on that fault in recorded history is typically one or two at most. Paleoseismologists (geologists who study past earthquakes) can dig further back in time by looking at the geologic record of ancient earthquakes: evidence o |
