3D CITY: Earthquake SIZE Comparison

[@EarthquakeSim]

Making this 3D model and running the simulations took me a week of constant work. The BEST thing you can do for me is to watch this video for as long as possible without skipping ahead. This will make KZbin recommend this video to more people. Let's spread more earthquake awareness around the world, together! :)

I am a citizen of Fukushima Prefecture who experienced M9.0. At the time, I lived in a 40-year-old house. All the family members survived, except that the tiles in the bathroom were slightly peeled off (there is almost no damage to this day). If you live in a country that experiences many earthquakes, please invest in just making sure your house is earthquake resistant.

It is significant to note the 9.1 earthquake on 3/11/2011 occurred 45 miles off the coast east of Honshu. The energy level experienced in Fukushima Prefecture was approximately 6.0-6.5. It was the resulting tsunami which caused most of the deaths & destruction in the area along the coast.

[@tomtalker2000]

It really depends on the infrastructure and how strong it was built to withstand a larger tremor. Japan is probably the best in the world for building nearly "quake proof" buildings. So a 7.5-8 scale quake for them might not be anything. However for folks here in the U.S. that isn't set up that way. Something as minor as a 6.5-7 scale quake could cause massive damage.

I experienced an earthquake in Oregon in 1993 (5.6 magnitude and perceived intensity of VII on the Mercalli scale) and the thing I remember the most (beside the fear) was the NOISE! When the quake hit our house I swore a train had somehow hit us - and it was very noisy throughout, even though our home sustained no damage. I'd love an increase of the noise effects on these vids, which makes them much more real to my mind. Thanks for all you do.

[@kjon99fm]

Of course, there are other factors at work - especially soil type and construction methods as well as distance from epicenter - that greatly determine the probability of damage at various magnitudes. One of the things most people probably have yet to experience is the rolling motion (like waves) the shaking can produce during particularly strong earthquakes. If hovering above the ground, one could actually see the waves pulsate across the land.

[@ewokgamer2286]

That's right, I am 23 years old and I have lived here in CDMX, the capital of Mexico, all my life, and precisely in the earthquake that I experienced in 2017 with a magnitude of 7.5 and with an epicenter very close to the city, it is as if there were There was 8.5 but it wasn't like that. Just that, it was also oscillatory and frenetic. The big difference is that the oscillatory rocks you in a circular manner and the trepidatory raises and lowers the ground. I remember how the street where I lived went up and down and in the distance I saw that wave, something unreal and very terrifying to see how the buildings, mostly apartments, creaked and went up and down while the seismic sirens sounded, it was a disaster.

[@irenafarm]

I saw that twice in SFO: once on ground floor in a very large, low ceilinged room (library reading area). The carpet and ceiling tile framework _rippled_ together. Like…maybe four waves went through and each time it threw me flatter. The second was a 4th floor office. The entire room twisted, then reversed the motion. That was FREAKY. There were concrete pillars all over the room and it was insane watching them bow.

[@redwall1521]

yeah, it's why I know as a very small creator this person is trying their best to put out content, but at the same time, he's sacrificing accuracy for speed. It's clear something like Blender was used, as when the 6.5 quake hits, the skyscrapers' supporting structures just fall out. It's not just what you said - I agree wholeheartedly (as well as recognizing that today's buildings in viral quake centers are designed to withstand impactful quakes) - but this content is subpar.

[@Salsuero]

Not just that, but the duration of the shaking is a major effect. This simulation only shows seconds of shaking, but many last for minutes or even more. The sustained length of shaking is one of the biggest reasons for damage.

[@ymb7873]

I lived in Anchorage Alaska, and learned about the history of the Good Friday Earthquake in 1964. Back then anchorage wasn’t as developed with tall buildings or as populated as today, but the pictures of the destruction are horrifying. Second most powerful recorded earthquake, a 9.2 that lasted nearly 5 minutes! Caused landslides that changes the height of entire areas around the city and up Cook Inlet. Caused tsunamis up to 220 ft. Insane

[@Whimsicleman]

I remember as a lil kid the earthquakes in Anchorage rattled the kitchen dishes.

[@salxrn]

for those who don't know how the magnitude scale works: higher magnitudes mean stronger earthquakes, scaling exponentially. a magnitude 2 earthquake is 10 times stronger than a magnitude 1 and mag 3 is 10x stronger than mag 2 and so on. this eventually leads to a magnitude 7 earthquake which is 1 million times stronger than a magnitude 1 earthquake

[@kamildowejko2254]

Actualy you are wrong. Each 0.2 magnitude higher quake is 2 times stronger. So mag 2 is 32 times stronger than 1, 3 is 32 times stronger than 2 and so on, se between mag 1 and mag 3 you have 1024 times stronger quake so mag 7 is over 1 BILLION times stronger than mag 1

[@Ollie1979]

@@peterhuang1431 taken from Illinois emergency management Earthquake Magnitude For many years, the Richter Scale was the most common and familiar earthquake magnitude scale, but as recording instruments have become increasingly sophisticated, more accurate calculations have evolved to determine magnitude. Today, the Richter Scale is seldom used, and scientists prefer to designate any given earthquake with just the word "magnitude," which can represent a number of different scales used in the calculation process. There are two important things to remember about earthquake magnitude: ​The size of an earthquake increases by a factor of 10 as magnitude increases by one whole number. A magnitude 6.0 earthquake, then, is 10 times larger than a 5.0; a magnitude 7.0 is 100 times larger, and a magnitude 8.0 is 1,000 times larger than a 5.0. The amount of energy released, however, increases by a factor of about 32. Looking at the same magnitudes, a magnitude 6.0 earthquake releases 32 times more energy than a magnitude 5.0; a 7.0 releases about 1,000 times more energy, and a magnitude 8.0 releases about 32,000 times more energy than a 5.0. It is easy to see why magnitude 7.0 and 8.0 earthquakes cause such widespread damage and destruction. From those numbers it can also be observed that even though a fault may produce a lot of small earthquakes, a larger one won't be prevented.Scientists have also learned that the New Madrid fault system may not be the only fault system in the Central U.S. capable of producing damaging earthquakes. The Wabash Valley fault system in Illinois and Indiana shows evidence of large earthquakes in its geologic history, and there may be other, as yet unidentified, faults that could produce strong earthquakes.

I'm from Chile and I experienced the 2010 earthquake (27F) IX: I was 21 and it was at night and at first it was all noise, a rumble like a huge truck but very deep and low, and suddenly everything start to move slow and I was like "ok, this is something" and then the movement turns more and more high. My mom was looking to my little sister and was talking to her to calm down (mom lived the 1985 Algarrobo VIII-IX earthquake), so I try to ran to see my grandma (who lived the 1960 Valdivia XII earthquake) but I can barely walk and fall over my knees. She was laying in her bed praying, so I try to calm her down. I watched through the window outside and it was surreal: the houses and the electric poles moves just like the ground become fluid, forming waves. When the earthquake faded out, we talk a little bit and see if everything was ok, some neightbours come to see us and then grandma say "I don't know, but I'm tired, goodnight" and everyone go back to sleep. Yes, sleep, even with the aftershocks of V, VI or VII... Eartquakes here in Chile are now something so common that people barely get worried by. We even get a coctail called earthquake "Terremoto" (white wine, grenadine and pinneaple icecream).

I found it quite interesting. I was surprised how well the train survived. Just wobbling a little. I think that using flexible material is more better for Earthquake resistance than solid material. But a more solid foundation. Apparently theres some foundations that are set on tracks. With wheels and pulleys. Designed to wave and bend and flex. Preventing the worst of the damage. But im no expert. I just find this stuff interesting. Its good to know that people are out there. Trying to prevent harm.

I remember that night vividly as I was peacefully slepping with my parents (I was 9 years old) and I woke up immediately after the earthquake started I will never forget how I felt, and I'm not joking when I say that my body was literally jumping in the bed I was like riding a Wave, I was that type of movement constantly for minutes, while I didn't know what the hell was happening I remember seeing outside and seeing literally the lights and cables on the Poles exploding in a greenish color one by one and car alarms sounding everywhere. Fun fact, my dad I don't know how but managed to get up and go downstairs while the earthquake was on full blast just to save our new TV that he bought no more than weeks ago. Anyways, we lived in a newly constructed house no more than 3 years old so I was up to date with the last rules and regulations that our country asks to construction companies in buildings so the house didn't have a single scratch anywhere only our things like glasses and plates where broken. After the earthquake I got a little more in tune since I was still half asleep but not really scared, our neighbor come to us to ask if we were OK since he was a police officer, we decided to stay downstairs just in case waiting for the energy to come back, I remember felling Many "réplicas" which are mini earthquakes after the main event which were around VI and VIII constantly trough the days after, Not so fun fact only 550 people died Supposedly which compared to other smaller earthquakes on other countries is a miracle that just that many people died mainly by the tsunami which the people were not alerted because of a confusion And last fact this earthquake ejected an amount of energy similar to 800,000 atomic bombs, Hiroshima bomb to be exact Here in Chile we are so used to earthquakes that we don't care anymore until I goes like X in mercalli since every year there are thousands of mini earthquakes everywhere in our country

Depth and soil composition are huge factors influencing the destructive effects of an earthquake. The closer to the surface the hypocenter is, and the sandier the soil, the more destructive.

Se caen a partir de 7.0 grados ..en adelante y los edificios nuevos a prueba de sismos resisten pero quedan dañados sin colapsar

[@Capt_Sam_J]

Amazing, like always!

[@EarthquakeSim]

thank you Samuel!

[@AdvikTekkieTalk]

for buildings to break at 6.5 magnitude (thinking that these buildings are built to modern regulations) is unrealistic.

[@AdvikTekkieTalk]

atleast where I live, At 6.5 its just a shake

[@alexreznov45]

@@AdvikTekkieTalk same, something to talk about the rest of the day but not to panic. Now 7 or above, that's something to worry about.

[@michaeledmunds7056]

The skyscrapers held up surprisingly well.

[@劉子立-l4d]

Even in my city, the capital, might have a magnitude over 6 earthquake. This video let me know how severe the damage could be.

[@panzerwafflez7228]

Huh. Didn't realize buildings and structures moved that much for 4.0-5.0 earthquakes. I live in an active seismic area (West Coast US) and we get 4.0s every year and 5.0s maybe every few years. Never really noticed any damage, loud noises (mostly just the shaking), or building movement for all those earthquakes although it could be because virtually all buildings here are up to earthquake code.

[@baramcheoreom]

I thought that typical high-rise buildings could withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8

[@EarthquakeSim]

yes they can. What you saw in the video was the Mercalli Scale :)

[@TheAdeZone-t5o]

Really enjoying this vid. That big glass building is so ominous!

[@EarthquakeSim]

Yes it is!! Thank you for watching friend👍🙂

WHAT IS THE SAFEST PLACE DURING AN EARTHQUAKE? =< IN A PLANE OR HELICOPTER WHILE FLYING.

[@doctorlettuce]

I love your videos! Keep up the great work! :D

[@EarthquakeSim]

thank you so much for watching! I'm happy that we can all bring together more earthquake awareness around the world! :)

[@AtsumuJT]

These simulations DOESN'T Work in Chile due to the antiearthquake standards.... with 8.5 in 2015 the 300m Torre Santiago Building doesn't collapse like this video...

[@Flussun]

このシュミレーションの建物はいくらなんでももろすぎだろ。どんな建築基準で建ててるんだよw

[@coolworm1520]

In Turkey the buildings are less durable than this simulation

[@dtime6670]

Are you able to make a replica of the wtc when the explosion occurred and flattened to the ground ?

[@Anthony_GrayCat]

Amazing video as always also those angles are sooo cool!

[@Etriland]

Thr fact you did this is amazing. Thank you!

[@OdinKim-k3e]

One of the best simulations I've ever seen

[@EarthquakeSim]

Thank you so much😁😁😁

And The Train Is Still Fine.

[@hellohola24-ge7mq]

i used to build these with jenga blocks and nat geo magazines as floors... then use my dads camera to film and play it in slow motion

[@Seavixenn848]

Wow! This is really cool :3

[@EarthquakeSim]

what was the most interesting earthquake magnitude in this simulation? :)

[@Seavixenn848]

Idk really, it's just a really good demonstration of earthquake power

[@SeanVito]

I don't know why I'm watching this. I should be ignoring it since I live DIRECTLY on the San Andreas fault line. Any minute could be life changing, and we are definitely due for a Big One. But I must say, this is an impressive model. Also love the sim city 3000 esque music.
