Abstract
The source parameters and dimensions of the three most important earthquakes (Komárom 1763, I o = IX EMS; Komárom 1783, I o = VII–VIII EMS; Mór 1810, I o = VIII EMS) of the area studied are estimated as follows
The average recurrence that we may expect an earthquake of M ≥ 2.7 every 1 year, an earthquake of M ≥ 4.0 every 10 years and an earthquake of M ≥ 5.3 every 100 years in this source zone. The probabilistic seismic hazard assessment predicts 1.4–2.0 m/cm2 peak ground accelerations, and 6.9–7.2 maximum (theoretical) earthquake intensity values with 10% chance of exceedance for an exposure time of 100 years in the area.
