Definition of Seismic zones

Major Earthquakes and faults in Egypt

Earthquakes of Magnitudes between 5 and 6

Earthquakes with magnitude below 4

Earthquake frequency Distribution

Log(N) = a –b M

N= number of earthquakes with magnitude equal to or greater than mM= magnitude

a and b are model parameters related to level of seismicity and tectonics respectively
