Earthquake Magnitude Comparison

Here's my complete earthquake magnitude comparison simulation! Let's make this the most watched comparison video on YouTube! :)

These simulations along with my piano music (Spotify/YouTube: @pardonmypiano ) are part of my lifelong project called "In Terra Pax" that aims to bring financial and emotional support to victims affected by earthquakes around the world.
------------------------
I hope that my simulations will educate the general public about potential earthquake related hazards and create more curiosity about Earth Science in general. I do also hope that my videos will inspire a future generation of amazing architects, engineers and scientists! We all need to peacefully work together to make this world a better place. :)

I was near the epicenter of a 8.8 earthquake in Chile, year 2010. The movement is so strong you cannot stand up on your feet, so I had to crawl like a baby out of my home. It was at night, and in the horizon you could see the lighting due to the power lines doing short circuit when striking to each other and the power transformers exploding due to power grid overloads. It was similar to a war, but with no bombs, just explosions, flashes of light in the night sky and a huge underground noise and vibration, also that earthquake was very long, officially was 3 minutes, but it felt like 10 or more.. then we had several "smaller" aftershocks of 6 and 5 MLs..

I am Chilean, I was 31 years old for the 8.8 earthquake of 2010, 13th floor of a building. I felt like I was going to die and the apartment was like being inside a juicer... and then the endless aftershocks, all sinister...

Remember, the depth of an earthquake also affects the damage caused. And in this video it is possible that the depth of the earthquake was only under 10km so the building looks very weak, which is rare.

I read about a Turkish town whose local council was very strict on building regulations. In fact, they made builders pull buildings back down if they didn't meet standards. The local builders hated the council and the building inspectors but when the 2022 earthquake hit this town was left standing while the towns around it were reduced to rubble.

Chile 1960, Valdivia 9.5 duration: 11minutes

As a Chilean who experienced 2 earthquakes above 7.0 on the Richter scale, I can say that the issue of structural damage is very variable. My parents' house withstood an 8.8 tremor, but in news from other countries, structures collapse easily with a magnitude 5. It depends a lot on the technology and seismic culture of a country. In Chile at least, we don't worry if the tremor is perceived as less than 5 degrees on the Richter scale.

I live in a very seismically active area and there’s even a fault line running through the city very close by, so most of the times you can hear the quake before you feel it, you hear the crunch of the earth before things start moving. It’s pretty terrifying

[EfeAydog]

i feel like your simulations are a bit more violent than how an earthquake actually feels… is this because you’re assuming your cities are right above the epicentre?

[kennymilsom]

Myself having been in a 7.5 earthquake in the middle of a city with buildings collapsing around me ( and people dying ) . It was a bad day and has had life long effects. This simulation seems bang on.

Buildings look like when you’re playing Angry Birds

Who is here after feeling the 4.8 New Jersey earthquake?

[CallaLily-idsu]

It depends on how well the structure is built, I mean this looks more like worse case scenario They've had earthquakes in Japan that haven't destroyed in this extent.

[vardunothegr]

as a someone who had experience of a m7.8 earthquake this vid shows exactly what i felt at that time. the ground move back and forth makes me barely to stand on the ground.

12:36 the building lookslike angry birds

6.5→熊本地震(kumamoto earthquake)
7.5→阪神淡路大震災(hansin awaji earthquake)
能登半島地震(noto peninsula earthquake)
8.0→関東大震災(kanto earthquake)
9.0→東日本大震災(tohoku earthquake)

As a M9.0 earthquake survivor, the most terrifying thing for me is tsunami, not an earthquake itself

Nice video Earthquake Sim. Can you simulate the 1960 Valdivia Chile earthquake of 9.5~9.6? which to date has been the strongest earthquake detected in history and which lasted approximately 14 minutes.

I HONESTLY have never been in an earthquake stronger than the magnitude 6.0 in 2014 during the Napa Valley Earthquake.

That's the BIGGEST one I've EVER ACTUALLY been in personally. And that one shook for just a few moments and then stopped. And I wasn't that close to the epicenter either; I was about 51 miles away.

I was in San Francisco at work when it struck, and I felt some moderate shaking. My partner (who called me IMMEDIATELY following the quake) was at home in our house in Vallejo (only about 20 miles from rhe epicenter), and the shaking was MUCH WORSE up there because of how much closer to the epicenter it was. He said our dogs went NUTS right before it hit, and that the house was shaking at first, and then started rolling.

TG 🙏 I'd had our home's foundation Earthquake braced and bolted just six months prior to the quake in February of 2014, and the quake was in August of 2014 -- GOOD TIMING!

Part of our chimney fell down (I had it steel rod braced to the roof afrer having it rebuilt) but compared to what happened in Napa itself, Vallejo wasn't AS HARD hit. Except for the chimney, our house was COMPLETELY fine, which was great.

Its a 1925 Craftsman-style bungalow and its sturdy and well-made, but earthquakes can take everything you have. A broken water main flooded our street for several hours, but was repaired by the city fairly quickly and part of the sidewalk across the street in front of our neighbor's house had buckled, but that was about as bad as it got in our neck of the woods.

I'd felt lots of little ones during my time living in SF from 2004-2014, but they were all MUCH smaller than 6.0, so that's why I say the Napa Valley quake was the biggest one I've ever experienced.

16:21 The M-9.1 Tōhoku Earthquake in 2011 lasted up to six minutes…
I’ve seen a 20 second earthquake in videos, it’s already terrifying 😨

[wilcofaber]

5.5 is little less then Roermond earthquake here in holland. Quite powerful
