Maps of Earthquake Probability

Maps of earthquake probability. The probability of a magnitude 5.0 (or greater) earthquake in the next 100 years at Mountainair is between 0.4 and 0.5. The probability of a magnitude 6.0 (or greater) earthquake in the next 100 years at Mountainair is between 0.1 and 0.12.

These maps show the probability of earthquakes with magnitude 5.0 (top) and 6.0 (bottom) occurring in the next 100 years within 50 km (30 mi) of Mountainair, New Mexico (yellow star; other cities labelled with yellow dots).
