Seismic data visualisation

The focal mechanism of an earthquake and fault plane solutions provide insight into the geology of an area. The objective of this paper is to give a means of better understanding fault movement when an earthquake occurs. In this paper we present an interactive 3D visualisation of possible fault plane solutions, which are usually represented as 2D “beach-ball” plots, with their respective block models. Additionally a 3D alleviation display of an area, with respective beach ball earthquake representations, provides a more in depth picture of seismological maps under the earth’s surface. The program solution allows a better grasp of space, which is useful to students of seismology and anyone who wants to visualize fault movement of an earthquake.
