Developement of Seismic Hazard Assesment For Sudan

Sudan has a long history of earthquakes. It is known to seismologists as areas of low moderate seismic activity, because it is located within interpolates regions. These interpolate earthquakes can be found on nearly every continent; therefore Sudan is not free from earthquake activities. The seismi...
