Chilean Earthquake Waves in Animation

This animated footage gives you a more global view of the Chilean earthquake in action. Seen from this vantage point, there’s a certain beauty to Mother Nature in action. Waves rippling across the Pacific, as if a stone were thrown into a calm pond. But, obviously, for those experiencing the earthquake on the ground, it’s a very different and tragic story.

    Any idea what the timescale is in this video? Does this represent something like a full day in the 1 min. and 15 sec. video?

    Time is in the top-right corner. Video represents 30 hours.
