This earthquake has an energy component down to 2Hz and down to 1Hz, however
i just don't record that frequency (1Hz) that low good with my geophone.
There also appears to be some type of a fraction in the earthquake p and s
waves. It appears more in the p wave, but is also visible in the s wave.
HI Jon,
From the distance, this looks like a near regional quake. Your geophone
will see ~1/20 sensitivity at 1 Hz, 1/5 sensitivity at 2 Hz. If the waves are
strong enough you can see them. You may also see two sets of P & S waves
which have travelled by different paths. There is a discontinuity called the
Moho about 35 km down under land, 10 km down under the sea. The volcanic
structures may interfere.

Chris Chapman
