Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the meaning of the ERROR message along the top of the Earth
window?

This message means Earthquake 3D is unable to access the internet.


This could mean several things: A firewall is blocking access.
Or there is no connection to the internet. Or there is a data
outage from the USGS. Check wolton.net/status.html for the
latest information on outages.

I am suspicious of the Earthquake data and want to know if


Earthquakes are being hidden.

Earthquake 3D just reports the Earthquakes that are provided


by the USGS. Earthquake 3D simply shows the data that is
available. Issues regarding data integrity and completeness
should be directed to the USGS.

What do the different ring colors indicate?

Newer Earthquakes are whiter and older Earthquakes are


redder. The most recent Earthquake has green rings.

Why aren't smaller Earthquakes shown?

The free edition of this program shows the 7 day


USGS list. This list only shows Earthquakes greater than
2.5 magnitude. The Enhanced Edition of this program includes
several different source lists which include smaller
Earthquakes.

How current is the Earthquake data?

The data is near real-time. There is a delay and it depends


on the location of the Earthquake and the data source.
According to the USGS web site, An Earthquake in California
will get processed and posted to the system in two and a half
minutes on average. This is because our seismic network is
very extensive in California where there are many earthquakes
and many people. An earthquake in the US outside of
California, where the seismic network is not as dense, will
typically get posted within 8 minutes. And an earthquake
outside the US, where the seismic network is sparse in some
areas, takes on average 20 minutes to process and post. Our
web pages with realtime information are cached for 60
seconds, so there may be an additional delay of up to 60
seconds for the web page to be updated.

PROBLEMS?

Make sure you have the latest OpenGL drivers for your graphics
adapter. Make sure you have the latest update of this program.

Due to the variety of operating systems and graphic adapters and


drivers, please describe your host system when reporting problems.
Include as much detail as you can -- Windows version, graphics
adapter, symptoms, etc..
