Recent Earthquakes
This resource links to a map of the USA where the USGS plots recent earthquakes. The quakes are color coded by intensity.
This map could be used in conjunction with a lesson on earthquakes and plate tectonics to establish plate boundaries and the frequency of earthquakes in those areas. The map is updated frequently by the USGS and is a reliable source of information.
