Dear Author,

I think that the paper presents new results. The text is well written and the structure of the paper is clear.It is my opinion that you answered most of the reviewers comments. I believe that t after he paper should go for publication after revision. Therefore I invite you to resubmit a revised version of the paper that clearly incorporates the authors suggestions mainly the points raised by the second reviewer.The author should pay special attention to the comment: "It is questionable whether introducing two new definitions of earthquake location,
namely the shaking center and the shaking centroid, respectively, will provide any additional
benefit, both in terms of seismic hazard studies and earthquake communication" . The new submission will be sent to the second reviewer only
