The Science Of Earthquakes

Whatto! Peeps....

Occasionally Britain is subject to small earthquakes.  
These are usually either oscillatory, or trepidatory, or a combination of both.  
Most people might be confused about these two types, so I thought it wise to let everyone know the difference.
So - What's the difference between an oscillatory and a trepidatory earthquake?

1. This explanation is for engineers: 


2. And this one is for non engineers:
 
This is a trepidatory earthquake 
-with it's distinctive up and down movement.....


         This is an oscillatory earthquake 

with it's distinctive side to side movement...
         
        
And this is a combination of both trepidatory and oscillatory:        
 
      
Isn't science beautiful when it's properly explained?

Tallyho!
