What is the difference between an oscillatory and a trepidatory earthquake ?

[FordDude]

1. This calculation is only for engineers:

2. And this is for people that never understood physics in college:

This is a trepidatory earthquake:

This is an oscillatory:

And here is a classic combination of both movements: (trepidatory and oscillatory):

It's all in how you explain it.

I prefer the "lay" explanation.

I have always done well in engineering as I have a keen ability to visualize (think fo the visual images you show here).

I also have specialized in integration, verification and validation engineering, where I get to spend lots of time in the lab and the field ensuring science is tested properly.
