Looking for the meaning or definition of the word seismicity? Here's what it means.
Noun
A measure or a degree of how seismic a region is, how prone it is to earthquakes.
Examples
The first two options imply that the earthquake hazard estimates for the region based on historical seismicity are appropriate.
High seismicity levels were also observed in 1894 and 1903, due to swarms in the eastern and southern flanks, respectively, apparently not correlated with eruptive activity.
The historic record of seismicity in California is too short to determine confidently how often large earthquakes reoccur.
Because the bridge is not situated in an area of high seismicity, the earthquake load was not significant and was not a controlling load in the design.
In fact, these earthquakes illustrate a couple of things to bear in mind when it comes to seismicity.
However, the occurrence of one unusually large earthquake of magnitude 6.4 in the Bellingshausen Sea in 1977 suggests that the Antarctic Plate may have greater seismicity than generally believed.
