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.

Long-term GPS station velocities
These vectors (see 30 mm/yr scale at top left) show the long-term average tectonic motion captured by GPS stations in the region.
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.
