Our note
A step-by-step explainer animation on earthquake physics showing plates creeping past each other, a locked fault bending a road as strain energy builds, seismic waves radiating from the hypocenter, and square areas comparing magnitude energy.

I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to explain the earthquake physics as an animation. This is what it built, physically accurate strain profile included. #opus5 @AnthropicAI @claudeai
