Shake, Rattle, and Roll: The Physics of Earthquakes
Join oceanographer Kevin Brown as he describes the phenomena that we experience as "earthquakes" and relates what scientists understand about the physics of these sudden and at times catastrophic movements in the earth's crust. Learn how Brown and other Scripps scientists are using a variety of techniques to better understand when, where, and how earthquakes occur.
