Earthquake Visualization Maps

We’re a boating organization based in Japan. Almost all of our members were here when the earthquake of March 11th, 2011 struck and so developments surrounding the earthquake and tsunami are of great importance to us. Here are two videos, back to back, that provide information on the fallout of the quake. The first one is a visualization of the locations and strengths of the 19,349 earthquakes Japan experienced in 2011. The second visualization shows the extent to which the mass of refuse washed out to sea by the receding tsunami is expected to move eastward before finally ending up in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
