Spill area
The spill area is the area on the earth's surface in which an earthquake can be perceived with the human senses without instrumental aids. The shaking radius is the mean distance of the perceptibility from the epicenter . Research into the effects in the Schütter area is the subject of macroseismics . There are various scales for measuring the intensity in the Schüttgebiet, i.e. the degree of local effects of an earthquake , for example the European Macroseismic Scale .
The intensities in the Schütter area are not a direct measure of the strength of the earthquake in the hearth . With the same herd energy and shallow depth , the effects in the Schütt area are greater. Earthquakes are also classified based on the shape of the rubble area, a distinction is made here
- central earthquakes with circular shattering area,
- linear , uniaxial or axial earthquakes with elongated rubble areas or
- multiaxial earthquakes with an irregular, lobed-appearing shattered area.
