A Method for finding areas with the highest risks of near-future earthquakes, from data of observed past earthquakes, have been desired. The presentedFatal Fault Finder(F3) finds risky active faults by applyingKeyGraph, which was presented as a document indexing algorithm, to a sequence of focal faults of earthquakes in stead of a document. This strategy ofF3is supported by analogies between a document and an earthquake sequence: The occurrences of words in a document and of earthquakes in a sequence have common causal structures, andKeyGraphpreviously indexed documents taking advantage of the causal structure in a document. As an effect, risky faults are obtained from an earthquake sequence, in a similar manner as keywords are obtained from a document, byKeyGraph. The empirically obtained risky faults byF3corresponded finely with real earthquake occurrences and seismologists’ risk estimations.
