Seismicity of the Los Alamos area based on geologic data
The seismicity of the Los Alamos area was determined by geologic data from four major faults that offset the Bandelier Tuff. The Bandelier Tuff was deposited as an ashflow about 1.1 million years ago. From geologic data, fault length, displacement, and age of the Bandelier Tuff, it was concluded that the Los Alamos area may experience one shock of a maximum magnitude 5 during a period of 100 years.
