CONCLUSION<br />
1. Most of the seismological activity is concentrated <strong>in</strong> the north part of<br />
<strong>Libya</strong>.<br />
2. Geological <strong><strong>in</strong>formation</strong> and historical and recent <strong>seismicity</strong> show that<br />
Hun graben area is the most active and hazards region because of its<br />
location near to the big cities (Musurath, Tripoli), where the more dance<br />
population and most important <strong>in</strong>dustrial activity is concentrated.<br />
3. Geological <strong><strong>in</strong>formation</strong>, historical and recent <strong>seismicity</strong> <strong>in</strong> Al-Jabal Al-<br />
Akhdar area also show a very high seismological activity, and the region<br />
is also hazards because of the location of the second biggest city<br />
(Bengazi) <strong>in</strong> <strong>Libya</strong>, some seismological activity is related to the<br />
subduction region at Crete island offshore of Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar .<br />
4. The south part of <strong>Libya</strong> has also some seismological activity, but due to<br />
the desertation and wide spread of cities the hazard could be less<br />
important.
