Simulaciones del Gran Terremoto de 1906

El USGS (United States Geological Survey) tiene un sitio muy bueno con simulaciones del Gran Terremoto de 1906 en San Francisco. En algún lado dicen los muchachos del USGS:
To better understand the distribution of shaking and damage that accompanied the great 1906 earthquake, seismologists have constructed new computer models to recreate the ground motions. The simulations show how ground moved on the two sides of the San Andreas fault and how seismic waves radiated away from the fault to produce the shaking. The earthquake, which began 2 miles offshore from the City of San Francisco, ultimately grew to cause shaking and damage along more than 300 miles of the San Andreas Fault.
Hay animaciones y videos (.mov) en varias resoluciones.
