A brief tutorial on how to load seismofaults.eu data on QGIS using OGC Web Map Service
Open your QGis Desktop and click on New Project button to start a new blank project if necessary
New → Create a new WMS connection
Edit the Name field naming it freely and paste the GetCapabilities url from your clipboard in the URL field
Leave blank the authentication fields since our services do not require any. The other fields can remain as default.
This is a one time procedure since, as you click on OK the connection will remain in the configuration of QGis for future use.

Clicking Connect the list of the layers published by the server as WMS will be loaded and shown as following
While the last four layers are the "true" EDSF related layers, the first three ones are a combination of the "true" ones in this manner:
EDSF: The entire EDSF dataset;
EDSF.Crustal_Fault_Sources: The two layers related to Crustal Faults (i.e. Planes and Top);
EDSF.Subduction_Zones: The two layers related to Subductions (i.e. zones and contour lines).
Take it into account since querying the combinated ones may lead to unexpected results.
