Description: For an automatic printout of epicentre listings and locations with modern seismic data management systems it is indispensable to have a uniform, systematic method for regionalization of the Earth´s surface. The IASPEI decided that the Flinn-Engdahl Code could be improved with some additional regions. In Athens, during the 24th ESC General Assembly 1994, the project of the Third Level Regionalisation was launch. The third level or “local” seismogeographical regionalisation in Europe is based on seismicity and tectonic features. The territory of the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia was subdivided into regions with respect to their geological development, tectonic features and earthquake activity. Also regions of very low seismicity as well as mining regions with induced seismicity were delineated. The new regions have geological and/or geographical names and are defined as complete polygons, vertices of which are determined by geographic coordinates. In Europe shapes and names of regions crossing state borders have been agreed on to find their final delineations. |
