Recently, Christchurch had a terrible earthquake with lots of after shocks. Some were thought to be oscullatory, while others were believed to be trepidatory.. It occurred to us that most people might be confused about this,so we thought it wise to let everyone know the difference.
What's the difference between an oscillatory and a trepidatory earthquake?
1.. This explanation is just for engineers:
2.. And this one is for laymen -- like you:
This is a trepidatory earthquake -- an up and down movement.....
This is an oscillatory earthquake -- a side to side movement...
And this is a combination of both trepidatory and oscillatory:
Isn't science beautiful when properly explained?
