3D graphics simulate stratigraphic collisions causing earthquakes

On April 2, a powerful 8.2-magnitude earthquake rocked Chile's Pacific coast, killing at least five people while tsunamis higher than 2 meters. landed on the shore.

The main earthquake is the most destructive and destructive natural disaster in the world. Caused by the movement of the earth's strata, some areas are frequently in this risk situation.

Geological activity concentrates along faults, areas of the crust of the earth's crust. It is usually located near the apex or earth boundary lines.

Moving continuously, these giant strata sometimes collide, causing this array to be under another array. This grinding cause creates an energy source along the fault lines, which eventually becomes unstable and breaks, causing a shock wave. The released energy feels like an earthquake.

After the initial jolting, aftershocks may explode when adjacent geological patches adjust to position. People cannot observe most of the underground movement, but sometimes, there is a big tremor.

Among the most powerful geologically active regions in the world are: Asia, Turkey, Afghanistan, North Africa and the Americas. The torque scale will evaluate the intensity of vibration - or release energy - during an earthquake. It was invented to measure large aftershocks and proved to be more accurate than the older richter scale. Theoretically, there is no limit to this scale, but there has never been an earthquake whose intensity is greater than the 9.5 richter in Chile in 1960.

Meanwhile, the European earthquake scale evaluates based on the strength of aftershocks, in other words, these are possible outcomes. There are 12 levels in total. From level 1 is an indication that an earthquake cannot be felt, while level 12 indicates a complete horizontal change.

When a major vibration occurs, this scale will act as a warning about other natural disasters that can trigger such as landslides, snowslides or tsunamis.
