Another Earthquake

Earth No Comments

 Update March 16, 2010- Los Angeles area 4.4 moderate earthquake.

Read more on the 4.4 LA quake at CNN

March 14, 2010- Another earthquake occurred, this time in Japan but overall reports did not seem too bad this time. There has been a lot of earthquake activity, including the recent one in Chile that had generated a Pacific wide Tsunami warning, (that was less damaging than feared).

 Here is a nice overview on what causes earthquakes from MSNBC. I suggest to also click the earthquake tab before checking out the other maps. Check out the interactive  Earthquake map here

Another informative exhibit on earthquakes here

You can see recent earthquake activity at the USGS
