What is a good site to learn more about recent earthquakes around the world?
Here at the PNSN, we are focused on Pacific Northwest Seismicity. For questions about world wide seismic activity, we recommend the web site of the National Earthquake Information Center. On the University of Washington Seismology Lab web site, we have a page devoted to earthquake related links around the world. The IRIS Web Page also has high quality worldwide seismicity data. • Q: How is seismograph data interpreted? A: In order to determine how big and where an earthquake has occured, we must know exactly when our seismographs recorded it. By having data from many seismographs, we can more accurately determine the location and magnitude of an earthquake. Once we have this information, it is looked at by analysts and passed on to emergemcy management agencies. For more information on how we analyze seismograph data, visit our Basic Info page.
