- What even is "Low/Medium/High Risk" in numbers? The lack of quantification is meh.

So many earthquake zones stop at national borders. From Romanian + Moldavian high risk to very low just by crossing the border into Ukraine. And a similar situation on the nw border of Germany near the low countries and in central Europe. What a nonsense map.
And this map is made even worse, because there exist readily available maps which do contain more accurate information, for example: https://www.epos-eu.org/communication/news/new-european-earthquake-risk-map-and-updated-earthquake-hazard-map-are-available
What’s with that little edge of Turkey being very low risk while the rest of the country is higher?
Idk but I’m guessing something about techtonic plates and.. fault lines.
What constitutes high risk? A magnitude 8 or more once per year?
