Animated map: all earthquakes of the past 15 years

submitted by b4rringt0n

6 years 4 months 3 weeks ago

This animated map created from the NOAA, NWS, and PTWC shows every recorded earthquake in chronological order from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2015. The size of the circle shows the magnitude of the earthquakes in relation to each other. The color represents the earthquake depth.

@53 seconds is the "Boxing Day Tsunami" quake.
@2:03 is the quake that caused the Fukushima meltdown.

If you look at Oklahoma in the beginning and then 2014+ you can see all the earthquakes caused from deep-well injection of all the fracking fluid.

That is the one thing i looked for when watching this. All the quakes i'd heard about in the midwest from fracking.

It’s funny. I’ve lived in the aftermath of a pretty major earthquake for nearly 8 years now. My city is still rebuilding and my house still has cracks in the walls.

And it barely registered on that animation.
