Document Summary
Student #: due date: friday, february 27, 2009. Determining earthquake probability and recurrence from past seismic events: Introduction: for this assignment, our main focus of earthquakes will be based on the vancouver. We are asked to calculate and compute the average number of earthquakes found with magnitudes from 2. 0 to 4. 9 for different year ranges starting from 1984 to 2008. We are also asked to research through given sources for historic information on the number of earthquakes from 1600"s. In the end we conclude this assignment with a graph representing our collected data and a final interpertation. The following is the given information related to the location of our research point: Top latitude is 52, left longitude -129, bottom latitude 47, right longitude -121. Based on the information given above and with the aid of the usgs, our results to search for the number of earthquakes between different years and magnitudes are recorded below.
