More model information

Global map of seismic events for the years 2010 and 2011 (animation here).

Here are some interesting events/features, clearly visible on this visualization:

  • March 2011 earthquake in Tohoku, Japan (see this 3D model)
  • February 2010 earthquake in Chile
  • Seismic activity in the Tonga-Kermadec subduction system, the most “active” on earth (East of Australia)
  • Seismic activity in the Scotia Arc, where continents want to emerge (East of southern Chile)
  • The fine USGS monitoring on the US west-coast, in Hawaii and in the Aleutian Trench (North Pacific), where even the smallest events (purple) are recorded.

Seismic data comes from the Earthquake Catalog, and was processed in Python.
