Distribution of <strong>Historical</strong> Disastrous Earthquakes in EcuadorThe knowledge of <strong>the</strong> position and geometry of <strong>the</strong> Wadati-Benioff zone (Hanu8and Vankk, 1987a) and <strong>the</strong> deep seismically active fracture zones in <strong>the</strong> continentalplate (Hanug and VanZk, 1987b) enabled us to coordinate individual disastrousearthquakes, observed in Ecuador in <strong>the</strong> last two centuries, to geological structuresalong which <strong>the</strong>y occurred. A list of disastrous earthquakes with epicentral intensityI, 2 8' MCS observed in Ecuador since 1797 (Egred et al., 1984) is given in Table 1;Table 1.
