Earthquakes in Zagreb area

U uvodu se daje pregled jačih potresa koji su pogodili Zagreb ili su na njega imali štetnih djelovanja. Među njima je najsnažniji i s najvećim razornim djelovanjem bio potres od 9. studenoga 1880. U većem dijelu članka opisuje se djelovanje toga potresa i njegove posljedice, što je dano prikazom monografije “Izvješće o zagrebačkom potresu” autora J. Torbara. Istaknuto je značenje toga potresa kao poticatelja proučavanja potresa, otkad se ono zapravo počelo sustavno provoditi.An overview of stronger earthquakes that either struck Zagreb or strongly affected the city are presented in the introduction. The most powerful earthquake with the most devastating effects was the one that struck the city on November 9, 1880. This earthquake and its consequences are described in the central part of the paper while a more detailed account of this catastrophe is presented in the monograph "Report on Zagreb earthquake" written by J. Torbar. The significance of this earthquake as an incentive for earthquake studies, which have in fact systematically been performed since that time, is emphasized
