29/32 From the three modeled scenarios the future event poses the most realistic danger, nevertheless a reoccurrence of the historical sources cannot be discounted. By using recorded data from the (SB RAS) catalog, it was seen that the second source was more accurate, however this second source crosses the Nazca Ridge and historically speaking there are few earthquakes with a rupture that crosses the ridge. The results are consistent with those of Okal et al. (2006), but improving the bathymetry and topography.
