@aesthetic.iq6: ECHO OF AN UNDERGROUND SHOCK: AN ANIMATION OF SEISMIC WAVES THAT CRASHED AROUND THE EARTH This animation shows how seismic waves travel across the globe after the recent magnitude 7.8 earthquake in the Philippines. The model clearly shows how energy from the epicenter spreads in all directions, piercing the planet through and through, and ultimately concentrating at the antipode—a point on the opposite side of the Earth. After such powerful seismic events, our entire planet literally continues to hum and vibrate continuously, like a bell, for several hours! Impacts of such force trigger global seismic waves, which are recorded by highly sensitive stations around the world, confirming how dynamic and interconnected the Earth's structure is. The physics of this process can be clearly seen on the model: Initially, primary longitudinal waves (P-waves) spread outward from the epicenter, compressing and stretching the rocks in their path. They are followed by slower but more destructive transverse shear waves (S-waves). The largest-scale and long-range surface waves are formed on the planet's surface: Rayleigh waves (causing vertical vibrations of the soil, similar to sea waves) and Love waves (displacing the soil in a horizontal plane). After passing through the Earth's crust, mantle, and core, these waves don't simply dissipate: they converge at the antipode—the geographic point diametrically opposite the epicenter—causing a refocusing of seismic energy there.
