Animated earthquake in Japan

It's kind of inevitable that I'd post an animation of the Japanese quake for this week's Animated Map Thursday.  So, without further ado, the NOAA video of the shock waves propagating across the Pacific:


I found that at an article on Popular Science.  There is, of course, a lot more map animations about the Japan quake available on the interwebs.  There's a site at PBS that's mapping the aftershocks live.  And this interactive tool at the New Scientist that lets the user look at 110 years worth of large quakes in Japan. 





And if that's not enough, there's this audio interpretation of the shockwaves by Micah Frank, who has quite a number of these audio interpretations of the different aftershocks happening in Japan:
