Level 1 Seismic Microzonation Map (Map of Homogeneous Microzones From A Seismic Perspective)
Level 1 Seismic Microzonation Map (Map of Homogeneous Microzones From A Seismic Perspective) :
A map that identifies the zones where, based on lithostratigraphic and geomorphologic characteristics, it is possible to forecast homogeneous behaviour in the event of an earthquake. On the map, the microzones are divided into: (a) stable zones, where no significant local effects are hypothesised and seismic motion is not modified (b) stable ones susceptible to local amplification, where amplifications of seismic motion are expected (c) zones susceptible to instability, where the expected predominant seismic effects can be traced back to permanent deformation of the territory. The main kinds of instability are: (a) landslides (b) liquefaction (c) active and capable faults (d) differential compaction
