Publication_Date: 2006 Title: AfghanSeismicity Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Series_Information: Series_Name: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report Issue_Identification: 2006-XXX Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Denver, Colorado Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Online_Linkage: http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/usgspubs/ofr/ofr06XXX Description: Abstract: This map shows the comprehensive catalog of instrumentally located earthquakes in the Afghanistan region that occurred from 1964 through mid-December 2004. Earthquake locations, focal depths, and magnitudes are chosen from among several earthquake catalogs, and those deemed to be the most reliable are compiled into a master catalog and shown on this map. Purpose: This map is intended to summarize the seismicity of the Afghanistan region and to aid in the assessment of the seismic hazard and the determination of the seismotectonic framework of the region. Supplemental_Information: A description of the earthquke catalog used in this map can be found in the following report: Dewey, J.W., ed., 2006, Seismicity of Afghanistan and vicinity, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2006-1185, 55 p., 2 pls.
