What does an earthquake look like?
– This document uses the Berkeley Network to illustrate recordings of earthquakes – both near and distant. These recordings of the earthquakes are nice examples, particularly for the teleseism. Some of the figures have the arrival times of different phases labeled. The data could be used in an activity on earthquake location. • Make Your Own Seismogram – This is designed as a fun interactive. The use can select a BDSN station and specify a time period. A “analog” seismogram will be returned. Can be used to look at current data as well as older data. Can be frustrating due to use of UTC time (rather than local time). • Seismograms of Interest – Examples of seismograms generated from this exercise. • Wave propagation movies – These movies are the result of current research on the 3-D structure of the San Francisco Bay. Scientists at UC Berkeley and LLNL are studying these structures in order to predict what type of ground shaking might occur during a major earthquake. The movies are acco
