Earthquakes

Check out http://www.iris.edu/ and their Earthquake Browser

Click Select a Region, and draw a box round TZ.  Click Zoom in.  Repeat for focus on Lengai area

Then use filters on right to maybe change time range to start 2007/01/01 for all activity this year.

Adjust dates to see the recent events.

Click on the blue dots and see Magnitude, Depth, Date and Time, and Co-ordinates.

What’s interesting is that if you look at the activity in June 2007, you can almost draw a line through the dots – they are not centred round any one place – which implies it’s two plates moving against each other rather than Lengai itself.  See what you think.

Note the satellite overlay – very cool.
