Potential Earthquakes Rupturing the Chinshan and Shangjiao Faults in the Taipei Metropolitan Area

There are two active faults, i.e., the Chinshan and Shangjiao faults in the Taipei Metropolitan Area. The moment magnitude (M), maximum displacement (Dmax), and average displacement (Dave) of potential earthquakes, which would rupture the two faults, are evaluated. The fault lengths are 25 and 20 km...
