- Why?
- I thought it was quite interesting how MATLAB was able to convert the earthquake's acceleration data into position data and then plot its trajectory in the 3-D plane. I find earthquakes and plate tectonics to be a fascinating subject, and being able to visualize the position of the earthquake was intriguing. Finally, I liked this demonstration the most because I now know the extent to which MATLAB can model real-world circumstances.
