If you are interested in the myriad modes (an infinity3 of spheroidal modes and another infinity3 of torsional modes) of Earth oscillations, you might take time out to explore animations on this website: http://icb.u-bourgogne.fr/nano/MANAPI/saviot/terre/index.en.html Note that the actual surface motions of the modes never exceeds about 1cm even when excited by the largest earthquakes. Motions in the animations are much exaggerated. Some observations... Superconducting Gravimeter, Onsala. |
