  1. "...IEB is a new, interactive map that not only shows the latest earthquakes but allows you to display thousands of quakes from an archive of 3.4 million spanning from 1970 to minutes ago. It's the IRIS Earthquake Browser, or just IEB, and one of many features is that you can rotate quakes in 3D! (No Flash or Java used)..."
     
     This is the new version of a monitor Iposted here some years ago. Always very surprising to see just how many 'quakes there are every day.

    It was good to visually see the effects of an earthquake, I wouldnt of known that the range in effects recorded would link up the way it does. The couple i looked at didnt seem to have any open ended straight lines.
     
  3. You can watch quakes and tremors moving along faultlines in some areas over a matter of hours or days. It's interesting to think that they're beginning a couple of miles below the surface in many cases.
