Downtown Los Angeles: Earthquake Comparison!
Рет қаралды 58,831
15 күн бұрынMy own 3D Los Angeles tested for 10 earthquakes! Let's make this the most watched comparison video on KZfaq!
I'm deeply grateful to Jenda Johnson, Victor Vescu and Cameron Fetter for the inspiration you've shared with me. You have truly made a difference!

I hope my simulations will educate the general public about potential earthquake related hazards and create more curiosity about Earth Science in general. I do also hope that my videos will inspire a future generation of amazing architects, engineers and scientists! We all need to peacefully work together to make this world a better place. :)
My goal is to show people around the world the effects of different earthquake shaking levels on various buildings and structures.
These simulations along with my piano music (Spotify/KZfaq: @pardonmypiano

it's been 30 years since the Northridge quake. I'd say the LA basin is kind of "overdue" for 2 big quakes. A magnitude +7 from the San Andreas fault and a +6 on a normal/strike-slip/blind fault

@antistrix I doubt a massive firestorm is achievable in the manner that LA is designed. Despite the looks, LA is not as condensed in space as compared to other locations where firestorms happened (i.e., Tokyo or Dresden). It might happen inside a building, but for a firestorm to wreck LA, it's gonna require 40% of the cities electrics and gas to be on fire simultaneously, but usually is about 15-20%

The Cascadia fault rupture! L.A. is my home town. The biggest earthquake I experienced was the 1971, m6.5 San Fernando earthquake. I was 7yo. Thankfully, I was living in the Milwaukee, WI area at the time of the Northridge earthquake. There are still many old, unreinforced, masonry and concrete, low and mid-rise buildings throughout the greater L.A. area. That event sparked a life-long fascination with earthquakes, tectonics, and volcanism. I pretty addicted to your sims. I'm a 3D generalist myself, I do indeed understand how much work goes into doing even the relatively simple modeling you are doing. I'm guess that, most of your time and computing resources go into running the sims.

6.3 in New Zealand 🇳🇿, absolutely destroyed a modern first world city called Christchurch. It’s shocking how much damage each small increase in Magnitude causes, a couple of years later I was in the Capital city Wellington and there was a 6.9 just south. I was in one of the tallest buildings in the city working on lever 18 or so, and I cannot describe the sound that high rise buildings make when they rock back and forward and slam into each other. People screaming, dust coming down from the ceilings, look out to the window and see the bright, clear blue sky filled with hundreds of thousands of birds flying in panic, lights flickering, and everyone under their desks with water bottles and phones… screaming. Absolutely terrifying, I will never forget it. Thank goodness for our building codes.

Thank you so much for your feedback! High rise buildings are designed to withstand phenomenal forces during an earthquake. I am happy you are safe!

This event involved the collapse of a 15 floor tower, a bridge fell down, and multiple buildings became severely danaged in my hometown and multiple casualties on coastal towns due to a tsunami. However, the seismic culture in the country has ingrained disaster prevention in people's minds, and Chile has experienced multiple earthquakes over 8 in magnitude in the last 14 years. These have been quite strong, and have resulted in very few deaths thanks to the good earthquake-resistant constructions.

Apologies if this is answered somewhere already, Im typing while i watch 😅 Im curious if you used the same depth for each earthquake? Im also curious about the integrity of certain materials. There were freeway collapses during the Northridge earthquake but not quite so catastrophic as what happens in the simulation of the 6.5. I certainly hope that LA freeway infrastructure is built to withstand at least that magnitude of shaking given the probability of a magnitude 6 or greater earthquake in the greater LA area is essentially guaranteed within the next few decades. I dont live too far from the Newport - Inglewood fault, and it has me more concerned than the San Andreas given it passes through very dense neighborhoods and has close proximity to several major freeway overpasses including the massive 105-110 interchange.

Earthquake scientist here. Great video, but a few caveats I've noticed. Los Angeles is in a basin, which will amplify seismic waves and trap them, making shaking more prolonged and at a higher intensity. Also, the duration of your quakes do not scale. A 5.0 lasts about 4-5 seconds. A 6 around 20 seconds. A 7 around 1-2 minutes. A 7.5 around 2-3 minutes. An 8 around 4 minutes. The San Andreas Fault in SoCal has the potential to produce up to an 8.3 if it ruptures 400 miles from the Salton Sea to Parkfield.
@EarthquakeSim 6 күн бұрын
Hi! I am so happy to have more earthquake scientists on my channel so that we can all improve my content!! Every earthquake has its own variables and you are right about the scale. If you are in a larger building with many floors, a magntiude 5 earthquake could be felt for longer since the building gains momentum during the shaking. Also, I think the magnitude 7.1 Ridgecrest was only felt for about 20 seconds, relatively short for its magnitude. For the LA basin any quake would last longer since as you mentioned, the sediments amplify and trap the waves like a bathtub. Where are you from? :)

@Mr.Volcanoes22 13 күн бұрын
Thankfully there's no circumstances outside a meteor that would produce a magnitude 9 earthquake in southern California. The largest faults in the area are strike slip faults that wouldn't have enough rupture length to produce something like that. Those types of earthquakes are confined to subduction zones and megathrust faults. A M8 like the one at the end of the video is very close to the theoretical maximum.

@@Mr.Volcanoes22 that's why I stopped at magnitude 8. Also, the simulation is only 1 minute long. In reality, the shaking would last about 2 minutes
@Mr.Volcanoes22 13 күн бұрын
@@Betis91 I've not heard of this but even if it happened the San Andreas is still only capable of M8 at the very most, because again there simply isn't enough length along which it would rupture. Did some quick googling and did find articles talking about times that a rupture on the Cascadia fault has triggered earthquakes on the San Andreas so at least that much is true. While measured from north of San Francisco to the Salton Sea seems like it would be large enough, the San Andreas is split into roughly three distinct sections, the central section undergoes slow but continuous fault creep and as such doesn't accumulate nearly as much stress, so slip on either the northern or southern section would not be able to jump the several hundred kilometers. An M9 is possible in the Pacific Northwest because the Cascadia fault is a subduction zone/megathrust fault, not a strike slip fault like the San Andreas. So even if a Cascadia megathrust could trigger the San Andreas, the magnitude is still limited by the physical reality of its own dimensions regardless of the trigger

In 1937, Joe Brandt was a 17-year-old boy who fell off his horse, hit his head, was knocked unconscious and rushed to the hospital where he went in and out of consciousness for days - he would occasionally awake and write down his " dream " which was actually a premonition into the future ... How do we know it's a premonition because he described things that are actually happening * now * worldwide ... For example, Joe described the " Five and Ten " on Hollywood Blvd ... in the future ... just before a worldwide cataclysm decimates this Earth ... That 5 & 10 store on Hollywood Blvd would seem impossible ... because how could they pay for the overhead and expenses, but the store is there, near the Chinese Theater ... on and on his clues go, including self-driving cars which have been in Los Angeles for years, the "baby half car" which we also see on the streets and many other clues ... Joe tells us that the cataclysm is so destructive that tectonic plates are flipped onto their sides and upside down as millions of lives are decimated ... Joe describes the escalating damage in Japan, Latin America, Mediterranean regions, etc. If you think a worldwide cataclysm won't happen, you should study the historic documents that tell us the history of catastrophic destruction - all across this Earth - which includes the true timeline for the advanced tech weaponry, the true timeline for the cataclysms, etc.

Are you able to model in the (air) blast wave for you asteroid strikes? They would follow (time v distance) behind the shaking (again, distance from the point of impact). As with nuclear explosions an asteroid strike would produce; the fireball, the ground wave (earthquake), the (air) blast wave, and then... depending on distance...the heat wave that would/could (distance once more) start fires starting outside the initial fireball. Not asking about all of this. But how quickly the shaking began in this simulation after the asteroid strike I'm positive a massive (1,000+ mph) blast wave would have hit LA before the tallest building finished collapsing. I'm sure this could be difficult, or impossible, with today's available software and the computer systems we can afford at home. Just a question. Since you asked 😊
@EarthquakeSim 11 күн бұрын
Wow! I truly love the feedback you gave! You are very right about all these factors. If you check videos of the Beirut explosion, you can notice the seismic waves coming first and then the air shockwave. For a meteorite, I think things would play out in a similar manner except that the meteorite would displace the air faster than the speed of sound during the impact. After that, the shockwave speed would stabilize to about 340 meters per second

@@EarthquakeSim Hahaha! Thanks for love ❤️ I'm a "destruction junky" I guess you'd say. Previous service I did was to help people in trouble on the water. But also to inspect large industrial facilities that too often go "BOOM!!!" So we trained and learn about how bad those things could be. But it was also a military service and this was back when Russia was still the Soviet Union. So we trained and learned about nuclear explosions/attacks. Since that time I became interested in many types of disasters; shipping accidents, air craft crashes, earthquakes, volcanoes, asteroid strikes, hurricanes, and many other tragedies. And I mentally compare similarities between related ones. So I surf KZfaq for interesting videos about these topics. Found yours about a month ago and have enjoyed what I see.

Stunning work. I am truly impressed at the amount of realism. However, not all frequencies are deadly. Some 7's are deadlier than others because they resonated at a specific frequency either higher or lower. Every country will have cunstruction standards and very specific earthquakes that could be absolutely devastating if simulated on another part of the Ring of Fire.
