The earthquake animation is probably the best visual representation for communication to the public as it allows you to see what magnitude of motion the ground is experiencing where and when. The only point of confusion is the multitude of scales which appear at the bottom of the video during its duration and also the fault plane seems a little out of place and doesn’t seem to add much useful information. The largest ground motion seems to occur to the north of the earthquake epicentre. In addition to this, it appears that the seismic waves either travel slower in the northbound direction, or that they are generated for a longer period in that direction, because the area just north of the epicentre is moving much longer than the area just south.
