Some preliminary results of a worldwide seismicity estimation: a case study of seismic hazard evaluation in South America

Global data have been widely used for seismicity and seismic hazard assessment by seismologists. In the present study we evaluate worldwide seismicity in terms of maps of maximum observed magnitude (Mmax), seismic moment (M 0 ) and seismic moment rate (M 0S). The data set used consists of a complete...
