Topographic site effects and the location of earthquake induced landslides

In the epicentral areas of major recent earthquakes, landslide density scales with peak ground acceleration. Topographic site effects on seismic waves are known to cause important gradients in ground acceleration in individual mountain ridges. Using landslide maps from the epicentral areas of earthq...
