Here's the latest #SocialDistancing seismic background noise levels for Los Angeles!

Human-made sources of ground motion (like cars, industry, & even walking) decrease as folks stay home, so isolation efforts can be observed with seismometers. Stay safe & keep that ground quiet!
It's not just LA; you can see this effect all around the world! Check out @seismotom's results from Belgium, including a cool clock plot: https://twitter.com/Seismologie_be/status/1247078877719126016
