Earthquake Sound of the Mw9.0 Tohoku, Japan earthquake (Zhigang Peng) - 1 views

  •  
    "This webpage contains earthquake "sounds" created from seismic recordings around the world generated by the 2011/03/11 Mw9.0 Tohoku, Japan earthquake. They provide a unique way for us to listen to the vibration of the Earth that is otherwise inaudible to us, and to decipher the complicated earthquake physics and triggering processes. "
