This Dynamic Planet: Map showing the Earth's physiographic features, the current movements of its major tectonic plates, and the locations of its volcanoes, earthquakes, and impact craters. The use of colour and shaded relief helps identify significant features of the land surface and the ocean floor. Over 1,500 volcanoes active during the past 10,000 years are plotted on the map in four age categories. The locations (epicentres) of over 24,000 earthquakes, largely from 1960 through 1990, are plotted in three magnitude categories and in two depth ranges. The document is in PDF format and requires Acrobat Reader 3.0 to view and print.

Virtual Earthquake: An interactive program designed to introduce the concepts of how an earthquake epicentre is located and how the Richter magnitude of an earthquake is determined. It shows the recordings of an earthquake's seismic waves detected by instruments far away from the earthquake. Students are shown how to locate the epicentre by making simple measurments on three seismograms and to determine the Richter magnitude of the earthquake.
