| A 3D VRML visualization of the precise location of the 6.8 Seattle/Tacoma earthquake
that occurred on Feb 28, 2001. The orange ball indicates the earthquake's hypocenter; the yellow dots are hypocenters of previous earthquakes from 1988-1995 with a magnitude greater than 3. The tick marks on the map's depth axis represent 10 km distances down into the earth; the depth axis has been exaggerated three times normal so the data can be more easily read. Additional Details |

integration project being organized by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and funded by the NEES
program at the National Science Foundation. The visualizations were produced using the software package Iris Explorer from NAG, Inc. It was created on an SGI Octane within an hour of the first solutions. |
