"Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will pledge with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government."

- Henry Kissinger, May 21, 1992, recorded unawares

–  Earthquake Project  –
 
 
The Earthquake Project is my effort at summarization, presentation, and analysis of earthquake trends.

In this section, you'll find a lot of visuals showing earthquake trends from as far back as I can get data up to the current day. Data is updated daily, with the "recent activity" being updated hourly.

Any suggestions on earthquake data sources, analysis techniques, presentation of data are welcome! Please send suggestions to:
 
 
–  Earthquake Graphs & Visuals  –
 

    ?     Earthquake Home    Recent Activity    Historical Activity    Geographic        
Click one of the menu items above to select that analysis, or click a graph below to see more details. 
Recent is earthquakes in the past few days, Historical earthquake trends, and Geographic shows
maps of where earthquakes have ocurred.

The graphs above represent summaries of activity; first, over the last few days, then a summary of 
earthquake activity by month, and finally a summary of activity by year. You can click on any of these
graphs for more detailed analysis.

The numbers below each graph give an index of just how active the current time period is. In each
case, 50 represents an 'average' activity (but note that daily numbers are much more volatile than
monthly or yearly).
