Abstract
Since 1852, more than 30 shocks of intensity VI or greater (Modified Mercalli scale) have occurred in western Nevada. At least three of these were classified as intensity X. In addition, seven earthquakes (intensity VI or greater) were centered in the eastern part of the State. Almost 2,000 other shocks have been cataloged in the nearly 125-year period of historical records. Thus, Nevada ranks among the most seismically active States.
