Abstract

Analysis of the seismicity of the territory of Azerbaijan shows that the southern slope of the eastern part of the Greater Caucasus is characterized by higher activity. In the seismic zoning map of the territory of Azerbaijan compiled by the method called "seismotectonic" or "genetic", the seismic hazard of this zone is estimated at 9 points on the MSK-64 scale. In the article, the level of seismic hazard of the Azerbaijani part of the southern slope of the Greater Caucasus was calculated by the probabilistic method. In this case, the seismic hazard is expressed in terms of peak ground acceleration (PGA), which can be caused by strong earthquakes on the earth's surface and the probable seismic hazard in the area has been quantified.

Keywords
