3D Earthquake simulator

What is it?

This is a virtual model of a city, this city can represent EMDC Or ELDC what will vary will the the type of building in this places, for example quality of buildings.

This model will make a virtual earthquake this will simulate different magnitudes and this will show how buildings respond to this.

After this earthquake has passed you can walk with you avatar, and see all the damage by the earthquake.

How could it be used?Well this can be used when planning a city this

can be used to see the action plan, as this will be show safe areas, and how buildings will reacts

Or also this can be used to compare the damage between a ELDC ad a EMDC, this is very important for learning in courses like IGCSE, so the student will be able to look at the effect, of this and calibrate the magnitude of the quake as they want.

Example Cities For the EMDC we chose NY, due this is very

advance and the buildings are modern and hi-tech so it will be a good example for this.

As an ELDC we chose a little town, like a little town of El Salvador like Juayua. This is because is poor infrastructure, and low-tech buildings.

Good & BadWell the positive things is that we can see how

cities will react, in virtual word so we can learn effects, without the real effects

The negative thing is that the results will not be like 100% correct so, if this model is used for city planning, it can have lateral effects.
