The recent big earthquake offshore Fukushima in Japan produced quite a response on the MVGS RaspberryShake seismometer.  The magnitude 7.1 quake, from about 60km depth and something like 9,500km away produced a strong P-wave signal, which can be seen on this website in the Geophysics section.  There was no matching S-wave responce due to the distance.  None of the aftershocks (M <5.2) have been visible.

The Geologists’ Association may not be able to invite you to attend lectures and field trips at the moment, but we are looking at ways for you to still enjoy geology, virtually through online courses and field trips.
