Earthquake simulation

Caption: Earthquake simulation. Digital simulation of two surfaces slipping past each other, as seen during an earthquake on a tectonic fault line. The seismic waves (coloured) are seen spreading outwards from the slippage point. Simulations like this allow unexpected features of earthquakes to be explained.
