Live...as they happen
Quakeshakes is a new software application that turns your home computer into a seismic monitoring station. Quakeshakes shows you recent worldwide earthquake activity in the past hour, day or week, giving you a dramatic visual record of the many quakes that strike the planet every day.
Quakeshakes taps into the live feed of a worldwide network of seismic sensors that updates every 30 minutes. A giant 8.8 quake with tsunami waves rocks the ocean floor off the coast of Chile and chances are you'll know about before it hits the news.
The Ideal Educational Tool
Quakeshakes is more than just a monitoring station. It is packed with learning features, making it an ideal educational tool. Explore the earth's faultlines. Learn about the earth's tectonic plates and its "hot spots." See for yourself where earthquakes are most likely to occur and why.
Perfect for classroom labs and the science student at home. Or for anyone at all who wants to know more what makes earthquakes tick.
