DENVER — An amazing new animation shows how earthquake waves travel across the United States, creating ripples over North America like a rock thrown into water.

The animation shows Thursday’s 6.4 earthquake to the south, followed by Friday’s 7.1 quake to the northwest. Friday’s earthquake was 11 times stronger than Thursday’s 6.4 magnitude earthquake.

It also includes several powerful shakes that are certainly in the same league as the stars of the Ridgecrest Earthquake Sequence; these include the magnitude 7.2 quake at Cape Mendocino back in ...

Hundreds of seismometers recorded California's magnitude 6.4 earthquake. Animations created from the data show how its energy moved across America.

GPS data has been used to make a 3-D animation of the shaking of the massive 9.0 Japan earthquake that could help visualize earthquake and improve tsunami warnings and forecasts of aftershocks.

The new animation stitches together six earthquakes that occurred between 2007 and 2013 — the most recent of which was on Oct. 19, 2013.
