QuickQuake is only intended for local earthquakes, not distant events. Listed locations are automatic estimates and are often completely wrong. Most events listed are overseas earthquakes. They appear as lower frequency waves (not coloured in by rapid movement), often have no S wave, and all stations tend to be a similar size.
- Pick an event – hit bullseye to load data (hit More for older events)
- Select waveform with best S wave – hit bullseye
- Drag P from left to start of event
- Drag S from right to S wave
- Continue to locate
- Choose model#2 for South Australia or model#1 for Victoria
- Drag bullseye around circle to get P and S waves to line up with 2 red lines.
- Hit View Report to see where it was.
