Asia: seismic hazard map
- Description
- This map of Asia displays seismic hazards in terms of peak ground acceleration (PGA). It also includes all major plate boundaries in the region: subduction zones, transform margins; and spreading centres. The map was developed by the Global Seismic Hazards Assessment Program (GSHAP) of the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

FAQs about volcanic eruptions
- Description
- This resource answers questions about the relationships between different volcanoes and between earthquakes and volcanoes. Can an eruption at one volcano trigger an eruption at another nearby volcano? Is there evidence for a cause and effect relationship between eruptions that occur at about the same time from volcanoes located hundreds to thousands of km apart? Is there a relationship between large earthquakes (>M 6) that occur along major fault zones and nearby volcanic eruptions? The FAQ is provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
