Earthquake Intensity Comparison - 3D Apartment Simulation (Southern California)
2,412This video contains 8 realistic earthquake simulations of different intensities (from 3 to 10). Scientists use the Mercalli scale in order to describe how strong the shaking was perceived during an earthquake in a particular area. The upper intensities of 8, 9 and 10 are usually associated with earthquakes that exceed a magnitude of 7 on the Richter scale.
Have you ever experienced an earthquake? What was the maximum intensity you've felt? I have experienced an intensity of 5 while visiting the Big Island of Hawaii back in 2020.
Let me know what you'd love to see in my next simulations!

This video simulation was created in Blender 3D with the Bullet Constraints Builder (BCB - a structural simulation software) which extends Blender´s basic physics functionality with a sophisticated toolset to simulate load dynamics in building structures. It establishes constraining connections between rigid bodies that incorporate real world behavior and parameters. It has been developed at the Laurea University of Applied Sciences in Finland within the scope of EU Inachus FP7 Project (607522).
