Peak ground acceleration ( PGA) is equal to the maximum ground acceleration that occurred during earthquake shaking at a location. PGA is equal to the amplitude of the largest absolute acceleration recorded on an accelerogram at a site during a particular earthquake. [ 1] Earthquake shaking generally occurs in all three directions.
