The size of the circle indicates the magnatude, the colour indicates the depth. We are still getting alot of aftershocks (three in the past two hours, the strongest 4.2 at 20km deep), and the depth is a big part of how strong they feel.Hello Xu Xuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342425344077550696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329425409896893278.post-20004085934932787182010-09-16T14:24:50.870+08:002010-09-16T14:24:50.870+08:00what does it mean on the animation, Depth?
