In March 2025, an earthquake of 7.7 points occurred in the center of Myanmar, which became the strongest in a century. This event makes this event not only a seismic power, but also an unprecedented employee, shot by a video surveillance camera near the error line formed.
Researchers from Kyoto University have used this video to measure the motion details of the error, confirm the presence of rapid rupture, impulses and remarkable curvature on the slide. These visual data opens new horizons in earthquake science. The research has been published in the seismic records.
The reason is to slip the breakdown, when the two blocks of the Earth pass differently in the opposite way. Previously, scientists could not observe this phenomenon in real time.
An analysis of a successful video shows that the breakage has been transferred to a 2.5 meter in just 1.3 seconds at a maximum speed of 3.2 meters per second. A short time of breaking errors is an important discovery.
The observations confirmed that a breaking appeared in the form of a pulse, this was a concentrated sliding mutation, spreading along the error, like ripples, when you waved a carpet from one end, Mr. Jesse Kirs said.
Analysis also proves that the slide is slightly curved.
Kirs said that we do not expect this record to provide so many details. Such kinetic data is very important to promote the physical understanding of the earthquake.
