How does a bloop sound?

 

It's usually played at 16 times normal speed, which makes it sound like some sort of animal voice. However, when the sound is played in real time, it has more of a 'trembling' sound, similar to thunder. You can hear a recording of the bloop in the video that accompanies this story.

 

What causes an earthquake?

 

An earthquake is a phenomenon where a sonic boom is reported as coming from the sky. Sound can create shock waves that vibrate a specific building or area.

 

How does a skyquake sound?

 

Earthquakes are enigmatic sounds described as an explosive bang rumbling in the distance and reported around the world. “It is a sound like the explosion of a heavy artillery piece that cannot be explained by any known law of nature,” Cooper wrote.

Valdivia earthquake

 

Can Utah have a 9.0 magnitude earthquake?

 

Earthquakes greater than magnitude 7.5 are unlikely in Utah. A magnitude 9.0 earthquake is not possible in Utah. Instead, it occurred in the West Valley Fault Zone, a system of fault lines on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley that has historically produced large earthquakes and surface fractures. .

 

Why are replicas saved?

 

The replicas can be used as "echo sounders" to study the local structure of the earth. Seismologists and geologists can determine the orientation of the fault plane, which is extremely useful in characterizing the earthquake, as well as the stresses and strains in the earth that caused it.

 

Can aftershocks be worse?

 

Although aftershocks tend to be smaller events relative to the magnitude of the main shaking, some aftershocks have caused significant damage. There are also examples of large aftershocks causing more damage and death than the earthquakes with which they are associated.

 

How long can aftershocks last?

 

Aftershocks are earthquakes that follow the largest shaking in a series of earthquakes. They are smaller than the main tremor and are within 1-2 break lengths of the main tremor. Aftershocks can last for weeks, months or years.
