Watch the waves from the M6.5 Idaho earthquake roll across seismic stations in North America! This animation, called a Ground Motion Visualization (GMV), shows the motion of the ground as detected on seismometers across North America - each dot is a seismic station and when the ground moves up it turns red and when it moves down it turns blue. Waves generated by an earthquake travel around and through the earth, but they get smaller (attenuate) as they move away from the earthquake location, jus

This animation, called a Ground Motion Visualization (GMV), shows the motion of the ground as detected on seismometers across North America. Each dot is a seismic station, and when the ground moves up it turns red 🔴 and when it moves down it turns blue 🔵. Earthquake waves travel around and through the earth.

Watch the waves from the magnitude 7.6 earthquake near the Cayman Islands as they travel across seismic stations in North America. Each dot in the animation, called a Ground Motion Visualization (GMV), represents a seismic station. 🔴 Red dots indicate the ground moving up, while 🔵 blue dots show the ground moving down. These subtle motions, too small to feel far from the earthquake, are still detectable by sensitive seismometers. Learn more about GMVs and what they reveal: https://www.earthsco
