I watched it for the first time and got it really well. Wow. Nicely illustrated.

Thanks for the great video. The music got me hyped :D

[@s.a.3993]

Nice explanation, thanks! Music is weird though (a bit loud and distracting).

[@IRISEarthquakeScience]

As mentioned in previous comments, my fault. I can't change volume in KZbin, but the music was lowered in the online version found here: www.iris.edu/hq/inclass/animation/focal_mechanisms_explained. Jenda (animator)

Well explained - I might suggest lowering the volume of or not playing music, but that's just personal preference.
