Seismology 101 Revamp Current slides, with snapshots of in-progress animations, and narration or suggested update notes
Introduction • Why do we have earthquakes? • How do earthquakes and related phenomena happen? • What causes the ground to shake? • How do we measure earthquakes?
Plate Tectonics Animation in progress at: http://web.ipac.caltech.edu/staff/tpyle/holding/seismo101/halfres/EarthWedge_H264_HalfRes.mov
Tectonics [Animation under construction: http://web.ipac.caltech.edu/staff/tpyle/holding/seismo101/newanimations/Pangaea_H264.mp4
Tectonics -> Mechanics [Decide whether to include strike-slip if choosing to modifying ridge to have transform faults] [first just Tectonics, then have Mechanics pop up at mention]
Mechanics Three main types of faults [Snapshots of animation version in progress shown here over old images)]
