Video animations from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center

Earthquakes of the 20th Century - 2:35 min.
This animation shows every recorded earthquake in chronological order, from January 1, 1901, to December 31, 2000.
The size of the circle (diameter) represents the earthquake's magnitude, while the color indicates the depth of the quake below the Earth's surface.

Earthquakes in the First 15 Years of the 21st Century – 3:50 min.
This animation shows each recorded earthquake in chronological order, from January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2015.
The size of the circle (diameter) represents the earthquake's magnitude, while the color indicates the depth of the quake below the Earth's surface.

In the end, you'll see:

1. all earthquakes during this period
2. the earthquakes that are larger than Magnitude 6.5 .
3. the earthquakes that are larger than Magnitude 8.0 are the "major" earthquakes that are most likely to pose a tsunami threat when they occur under the ocean or near a coastline and when they are shallow (less than 100 km deep).
4. the Plate Boundary Faults
