Seismic Waves Training Simulation

Interactive 3D Primary, Secondary, and Surface Waves Simulator. Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth as a result of an earthquake, or any other process that imparts low-frequency acoustic energy.

Real-Time 3D Simulation Software

What happens to the ground during an earthquake? Find out by creating your own earthquake using this interactive 3D simulation. An actual earthquake will always create Primary, Secondary, and Surface waves, using this 3D simulation students can isolate waves to understand the different types of seismic activity.

P, S, and Surface Waves

Select the type of wave, the strength of the waves, the angle, and the zoom levels for the simulation to run. Waves can be played forward and backwards through time, in textured or wire-frame 3D models, all controlled by the user of the simulation.

Epicenter and Focus

The first waves to arrive are primary waves, or P waves, P waves are seismic waves that compress and expand the ground like an accordion. P waves cause buildings to contract and expand. After P waves come secondary waves, or S waves. S waves are earthquake waves that vibrate from side to side as well as up and down. They shake the ground back and forth. When S waves reach the surface, they shake structures violently.

Seismic Waves Immersive Learning Simulator

Surface waves move more slowly than P waves and S waves.

When P waves and S waves reach the surface, some of them are transformed into surface waves. Surface waves move more slowly than P waves and S waves, but they produce the most severe ground movements. During an earthquake, all three types of seismic waves are produced. They race out from the focus in all directions, carrying the energy of an earthquake away from the focus.

Secondary Waves

During an earthquake the exact speed of P and S waves varies depending on the material they are traveling through. The ratio between the speeds of the two waves will remain relatively. P waves generally travel 1.7 times faster than S waves. Using this ratio, scientists can calculate the distance between any point on the earth's surface and the earthquake's focus.

Seismic Waves Training Simulation Video

If you're charged with educating and training students, you're aware of the challenges associated with keeping them engaged with educational material. Using highly-realistic 3D simulations, that are web-based, allows you to provide students with immersive content that keep them engaged for longer periods of time. For an assessment of needs that are specific to your project, please contact ForgeFX so we can review your requirements and put forward a project plan, including a technology recommendation.
