Brazil: Magn!tu<strong>de</strong>s (mb) were computed for many events using either<br />

macroseismic or instrumental data. When macroseismic data were used one <strong>of</strong><br />

the following equations was applied:<br />

M 1.63 + 0.60 log (At) (5)<br />

m b = 2.29 + 0.55 log (AIv) (6)<br />

where AF is total area affected in square kiometers (corresponding to the<br />

intensity II MM Isoseismal), and AIV in the area within the Intensity IV MM<br />

isoseismal. For earthqupkes with invtramental data for d betwcen 200 and 1500<br />

km the following equation was applied:<br />

m R " log (2r AT) 2.3 log d - 2.28 (7)<br />

where mR is equivalent to A computed using regional data, A is the maximum<br />

amplitu<strong>de</strong> <strong>of</strong> the ground motion in microns, T is the approximate period <strong>of</strong> the<br />

wave in seconds correspcrWn g to A, d d is the epicentral 'Usta.,r" in km.<br />

Chile: Magniu<strong>de</strong>s given with the mignitu<strong>de</strong> scale ce<strong>de</strong> E were- ns.imated<br />

based on intensity data. For a <strong>de</strong>scription <strong>of</strong> instrimentally <strong>de</strong>,.ermired<br />

magnitu<strong>de</strong>s for the source cac<strong>de</strong> GUC sec Lee and Wetmiller (1978).<br />

Colombia: Magnitu<strong>de</strong>s (Qb)reported with the source co<strong>de</strong> IHE were<br />

calculated from the flo'wing equation:<br />

mb - log(A/T) + 1.35 og(A) +-0.77 (8)<br />

M. magnitu<strong>de</strong>s with the source co<strong>de</strong> R-i were evaluated by Fr. J. E. Ramirez<br />

from intensity data. M, magnitu<strong>de</strong>7 reported by IGN were also <strong>de</strong>termined from<br />

intensity data. As bcst, :;an be .'tre
