Explaining Earthquakes - KQED QUEST

An earthquake generates a series of seismic waves that travel through the interior or near the surface of the Earth. There are 4 types of seismic waves.

who else is quarantined and watching this for their physics class?

[hasooon]

this is the actual most interesting "school video" I saw in my entire life

[briang]

My sixth grade science students really like this video. Excellent work!

[jogswanson]

Great video. The music in this is really excellent, is there a name for the song of artist? Maybe a website (YouTube page, sound cloud, twitter, etc.) for whoever made the music?
Thanks!

I'm literally watching this to review for my exams TODAY.

Yes I'm stupid and yes I regret it.

Edit/update: Whoo! This helped me answer questions related to earthquake (Didn't pass tho but ehhh)

which software do you use to animate the video?

[keoagilekerileng]

Amen, my Master Thesis is giving headache is about The effect of Near-Fault Pulse-Like Ground Motion on Base-Isolated Structure. Quick question whats is the SPORADIC WAVE.

[codingandgeology]

Name of app that used for this
Please tell me and thanks😊

+KQED What software did you use for the animation?

[ytubegmailusername]

Teacher should save themselves and students time and have them watch this video, saves 5 days of class.

[aquapvp]

Anyone else forced to do this for school?

[furreos]

Great animation. although there's a mistake on the part when it shows the different effects of each seismic wave to different substrates. when it said that the P waves push and pull the ground when in fact, particle motions should be parallel to the wave propagation direction. Thus, it should have been forward and backward. The arrows are also incorrect.

To see the awful results, here is a link to The Damnedest, Finest Ruins, considered the definitive documentary on the 1906 Earthquake - also from KQED-PBS

[anthonyfernandez]

Hello. Can I have permission to use this for our group documentary in our school? Hope for your kind response

[AngelAlita]

i guess you confused the s and p waves. first you show the p wave moves left right and then you say they travel up and down .. i didnt get u

[marivictorres]

easy to understand.. like it..show this video to your students..

Okay but like the first second is literally ASMR 😀😍

poor building on the sand and mud...
good thing no one was hurt!
(nudge nudge)

has anyone tried pausing the exact end watch time of the video without appearing the next six videos?
