With all these curiosities flying around over earthquakes, students were asked what new pieces of data they wanted and it was an overwhelming consensus for more data on earthquakes! We're seeing that earthquakes are happening all over the world, ALL the time, and are different magnitudes and depths!
Using the Seismic Explorer proved to be VERY helpful! Students began seeing some amazing things here!
So with all this usage of the seismic explore, we're thinking that the earthquakes seem to be happening maybe at the edges of plate boundaries. But the interesting thing is that we don't really know what's below the surface, as this is the part we can't see, but may be causing all this change on the surface!
