In this study, we created probability maps of
earthquake occurrences using Kriging method from Geostatistical
techniques with the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the
NAFZ (western, central, eastern). Geostatistical techniques had
both the capability of producing a prediction surface and provide
some measure of the certainty or accuracy of the predictions.
Kriging method depended on mathematical and statistical models.
Kriging was an interpolation that can be exact or smoothed
depending on the measurement error model. Kriging used for
statistical models that allow a variety of output surfaces including
probability. We used an instrumental catalog for Ms≥4.0
magnitude between 1900-2017 period.
Additionally, Kriging method fitted a mathematical function to a
specified number of earthquakes or all earthquakes within a
specified radius, to determine the output value for each region. We
