Abstract

This study investigated the spatial spread of earthquakes around a portion in Taiwan Island. The data used for this study were acquired from earthquake catalogue of International Seismological Centre (ISC), Pipers Lane, Thatcham, Berkshire, United Kingdom. Earthquake events with body magnitude Mb&
