Educational Resources for teaching the science of earthquakes.
We've reviewed and collected this database of educational web sites related to earthquakes and plate tectonics. You'll find lesson plans, interactive web sites, learning activities, and more.
You're welcome to use any images you'd like from our web site for educational purposes. A credit to "U.S. Geological Survey" and to the author, if identified, is all that is required. The official language for this can be found at USGS Policies & Notices.
