The Jumping Jack Flash blog (translation) made a Google Earth kml file (download) that creates an animation of the swarm of earthquakes that occurred around Japan between 6 March and 13 March 2011.
A quite well done video has been made of the animation, adding music and sound effects. 1 second in the video is equivalent to 1 hour. The animation starts on 9 March since the period between 6 March and 9 March was relatively quiet, seismically, around Japan. I recommend watching the video in full screen HD so that the dateline in the top left corner is readable.
A little bit of whatever the world has to offer
Wow. I thought, "This is really neat!" Then I remembered exactly what it was representing.
ReplyDeleteStill, an effective display/tool.
That is really horrifying.
ReplyDeleteAny idea if this sort of animation exists for last year's quake in Chile? I can only find swarm maps, but no animation.
