This paper combines active fault data and historical seismic records to prepare the seismic sources for scenario earthquakes with their occurrence interval. The seismic sources for randomly distributed intraplate earthquakes without surface faults are also prepared so that they can be treated as scenario earthquakes. Using these seismic sources, I evaluate a maximum credible acceleration map in overall Japan due to scenario earthquakes.Read More
