Seismology 101 RevampCurrent slides, with snapshots of in-progress animations, and narration or suggested update notes

Intro video plays…

…then show title: “Seismology 101”

Introduction

• Why do we have earthquakes?• How do earthquakes and related phenomena happen? • What causes the ground to shake? • How do we measure earthquakes?

Plate Tectonics

Animation in progress at:http://web.ipac.caltech.edu/staff/tpyle/holding/seismo101/halfres/EarthWedge_H264_HalfRes.mov

Tectonics [Animation under construction: http://web.ipac.caltech.edu/staff/tpyle/holding/seismo101/newanimations/Pangaea_H264.mp4

Tectonics -> Mechanics[Decide whether to include strike-slip if choosing to modifying ridge to have transform faults]

[first just Tectonics, then have Mechanics pop up at mention]

Mechanics

Three main types of faults[Snapshots of animation version in progress shown here over old images)]

Thrust under water: Tsunami

Mechanics

Seismic Waves: Body WavesP-Wave S-Wave

Seismic Waves: Surface Waves

Love Wave

Rayleigh Wave

Earthquake Magnitude Scale

Intensity: ShakeMap
