Wanted to start a separate thread for this - interesting earthquake links we can use to teach our kids. I'm sure earthquake interest will be really high, so let's feed our kid's curiosity! Here's one I found of the New Madrid fault, with a central US activity map of the last 6 months. Todays is the big blue square - ya can't miss it  What surprised me was the amount of seismic activity we have. www.showme.net/~fkeller/quake/ |

What a great idea to share with our kids. You don't get that many earthquakes around here. My daughter was very excited when I told her she was in one because she also felt it. From what I have googled, the major fault part is in Missouri and Tennesee. I did hear a cool fact on the radio. When the "big one" hit in the 1800's, it actually caused the Mississippi river to start flowing the other way! |

JB, thanks for these sites. My son was very excited to hear about the earthquake this morning, and it will be fun to do the reasearch on these sites. Awesome information!  |

You're welcome! I love to see intellectual curiosity in kids, especially in science. Their minds become sponges, soaking up all the details.
