Abstract

Based on seismic data, collected from different sources, the Earthquake catalogue for West Bắc Bộ region (period 1903-2011) has been established, composed of 1097 earthquakes with magnitude M ³ 2.0. Basing on this catalogue, the authors have examined and analyzed the characteristics of earthquake manifestations and  compared them with the distribution characteristics of active faults in the studied region. Integrated analysis of seismic and tectonic data allows us to evaluate seismogenic possibility in the studied region.
