Earthquake Animation Catalog
| Animation Number | Animation Short Name | Animation Description | File Format (Size) | Image Credit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Animation_1 | Puente Hills Wave Propagation Simulation | Animation showing the propagation of ground motions across the Los Angeles Basin. | YouTube Movie Format | Robert Graves (USGS), Amit Chourasia Steve Cutchin (SDSC) |
| Animation_2 | M8 Perspective | Animation showing the north to south M8 California earthquake rupture, with a perspective above the fault. The amplitude of the ground motion is shown as exaggerated topography. The animation shows a seismic shock waves is formed at the rupture front, and a strong stopping pulse as the rupture ends south of the Salton Sea. | YouTube Movie Format | Amit Chourasia Steve Cutchin Yifeng Cui (SDSC), Kim Olsen (SDSU) |
| Animation_3 | M8 Map View | Animation showing the M8 California earthquake rupture in a map view format. | YouTube Movie Format | Amit Chourasia Steve Cutchin Yifeng Cui (SDSC), Kim Olsen (SDSU) |
| Animation_4 | Shakeout Map View | ShakeOut earthquake animation showing ground motions in a map view. | YouTube Movie Format | Robert Graves (USGS), Geoff Ely Amit Chourasia Yifeng Cui (SDSC), Philip Maechling (SCEC) |
| Animation_5 | Shakeout_Long_Beach_Perspective | ShakeOut earthquake animation showing ground motions from the perspective of a site in Long Beach California. The animation shows the ground motions approaching from the south, then long lasting long period motions throughout the city. | YouTube Movie Format | Brad Aagaard (USGS), Amit Chourasia Steve Cutchin (SDSC), Mark Benthien (SCEC) |
| Animation_6 | Building Response Animation (M8 at Northridge) | Animation of response of a 18 story steel frame building to M8 ground motions in Northridge California. | YouTube Movie Format | Swaminathan Krishnan (Caltech), Sandarsh Kumar, Philip Maechling (SCEC) |
| Animation_7 | GlyphSea Narrated Animation of M8 | Narrated animation showing GlyphSea vector visualization technique applied to M8 ground motion simulation data. | YouTube Movie Format | Emmett McQuinn, Amit Chourasia |
| Animation_8 | EQ_LaHabra_Site_Fullerton | Simulation showing the effects of ground motions on objects in Fullerton, about 15km from epicenter of La Habra Earthquake. The animation was created by retrieving the observed ground motions from a Fullerton strong motion station for the La Habra earthquake, then inputting these seismograms into a scene containing everyday objects, and used a physics-engine to show the results of the ground motions on the objects. | YouTube Movie Format | Philip Maechling (SCEC) |
