Shakemap
ShakeMap, developed by the USGS, facilitates communication of earthquake information beyond just magnitude and location. By rapidly mapping out earthquake ground motions, ShakeMap portrays the distribution and severity of shaking.

Did You Feel It
The USGS collects information from people who felt an earthquake and creates maps that show what people experienced and the extent of the damage.
ViewAftershock
Aftershocks, smaller earthquakes that occur in the same general area during the days to years following a larger event or "mainshock."

Teachable Moment
Teachable Moment presentations capture that unplanned opportunity to bring knowledge, insight, and critical thinking to the classroom following a newsworthy earthquake. 10 slide Powerpoint presentation (zipped ppt 21.9 MB / pdf 1.03 MB)
ViewGround Motion Visualization
Data-generated visualizations show how the ground moves across the U.S. as seismic waves from moderate local or large distant earthquakes move across the surface of the Earth.
ViewBack Projection
A type of earthquake analysis using a seismograph network that gives researchers tools to examine detailed rupture propagation.
