RECOGNITION OF EARTHQUAKE PRONE AREAS M³6.2 IN THE KOPET DAG MOUNTAINS USING THE GIS TECHNOLOGY

nodes capable of earthquakes M6+ have been identified in the kopet dag mountains using the GIS technology the methodology is based on the idea that large earthquakes correlate with morphostructural nodes which are formed arouns the intersections of fault zones. the nodes have been determined with the morphostructural zoning MZ method. the MZ map of the study region has been compiled using the GIS facilities.
