"Written in Stone" Earthquake Animations
Animations developed for the educational video "Written in Stone" produced by San Diego State professor Pat Abbott. These animations offer visual explanations for some of the more complex processes involved in earthquake dynamics. They also include some practical mitigation procedures for securing one's home for protection during an earthquake.Carleton College/NAGT materials
