THE RISK ANALYSIS OF SEISMIC ACTIVITY INCIDENCE IN ROMANIA.

In Romania there is one of most powerful seismic activity region from Europe, known as Vrancea. In the past 300 years, a single major seismic event occurred with an epicenter outside this area (1916). This paper starts from going over all major seismic events, with a magnitude of over 6 degrees on Richter's scale, which were documented. Was tested the most plausible statistic behavioral model and was determined the probabilities for future large scale earthquakes, by different time horizons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
