Map 2

	Streams; potential for locally high to very high liquefaction hazard.
	Bedrock in shallow (generally <3m) excavation.
	Small outcrop.
	Borehole.

* Low to high hazard is applied to areas with insufficient data to assign a more specific hazard rating, but the average hazard rating can be considered moderate in these areas (see also comments on Map 1 referring to areas assigned low to high hazard rating on the slope hazard map).

The relative amplification hazard ratings shown on Maps 1 and 2 are generalized ratings and do not reflect the amplification hazard in all cases. In particular, the amount of amplification due to soil conditions diminishes as the strength of ground shaking (i.e. acceleration) increases. Maps 5 to 8 show how amplification factors (not the actual amount of earthquake ground motion) can vary wtih different strengths and periods of ground motion. The variation in ground motions predicted using the amplification factors shown in Maps 5 to 8 does not exceed the seismic design criteria of the current building code (National Research Council of Canada, 1995), but could be significant for structures not governed by the seismic provisions of the code as well as older structures.
