At default, they have blue color and if any movement is detected, their color changes accordingly to the shaking intensity from green, yellow to red and they also flash to catch attention. ==== When will the next earthquake hit? ==== Earthquakes are unpredictable events that can occur without prior notice. It is important to understand that current scientific knowledge does not allow for precise prediction of earthquake occurrences. Individuals claiming to predict earthquakes should be approached with caution. ==== What is displayed when an earthquake is detected? ==== Detected Earthquakes are shown as a cross with 2 colored circles spreading evenly from the epicenter. Blue represents the predicted location of so-called P-waves, which are weaker but much faster than S-waves. S-waves are displayed as orange or red circles. You can read more about seismic waves here for example: https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/340-seismic-waves If the program is not sure about the earthquake information, then a "?" mark will be showed instead of cross in the epicenter. Old earthquakes are displayed as smaller circles with their radius proportional to the estimated magnitude, and their color depends on their depth, magnitude, or age, depending on the current settings. If the earthquake is estimated to be strong enough to be felt at some location, a colored hexagonal overlay will be shown according to the estimated intensity in the MMI scale. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Mercalli_intensity_scale ==== More FAQ ====== How do I install GlobalQuake? Download GlobalQuake from https://globalquake.net/download What is the quality (S, A, B, C, D) ? The quality expresses how confident GlobalQuake is about the earthquake it has detected. If the quality is high (S, A), the earthquake is very likely detected at the correct location with the right depth and reasonably close magnitude. A quality rating of C or D likely means the detection is less accurate, and the actual earthquake might be in a completely different location than what GlobalQuake shows. What magnitude type is used? GlobalQuake uses its own magnitude formulas that were manually "crafted" to best fit official readings. Therefore, the magnitude is neither mB, Mw, or anything like that. We simply call it "GlobalQuake magnitude" or Mgq. ★What would happen if a magnitude 9+ earthquake struck? This has, of course, never happened in GlobalQuake's history, but based on my own knowledge and guess, it would be underestimated by at least 1 order of magnitude since the current version only assumes a single point of origin and cannot work with complex ruptures. Keep in mind that our program is in the very early stages of development, and it has many years of improvements ahead :) To be continued... ==== DISCLAIMER ==== Do not use GlobalQuake as Your primary way of receiving Earthquake Early Warnings!! There is no guarantee that the application will display the appropriate warning in case of a severe earthquake in your area! Please remember that we are not seismologists nor scientists, and everything is made out of pure enthusiasm and based on long-term experience with observing earthquakes. ==== Join us ===== We also have a Discord server, where we discuss all GlobalQuake-related stuff, so if you have a specific question, feel free to join :) https://discord.gg/globalquake ==== Donations ==== https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jakubspangl https://paypal.me/globalquake ==== Data Attribution ==== https://globalquake.net/attribution ================= For more information about the software, please visit the webpage https://globalquake.net #earthquake #globalquake #地震ライ #Σεισμό #sismo
