Quakeshakes 2.2.3

Quakeshakes is a new software application that turns your home computer into a seismic monitoring station. Quakeshakes shows you recent worldwide earthquake activity in the past hour, day or week, giving you a dramatic visual record of the many quakes that strike the planet every day.

Quakeshakes taps into the live feed of a worldwide network of seismic sensors that updates every 30 minutes. A giant 8.8 quake with tsunami waves rocks the ocean floor off the coast of Chile and chances are you'll know about before it hits the news.

Quakeshakes is more than just a monitoring station. It is packed with learning features, making it an ideal educational tool. Explore the earth's tectonic plates boundaries. Learn about the earth's "hot spots" and see for yourself where earthquakes are most likely to occur.

You'll be amazed at how many quakes are striking the planet every day. Literally dozens of seismic events, big and small, are taking place. Quakeshakes shows you the earth as it really is: a dynamic, highly volatile planet that's always on the move.

A giant quake shakes the coast of Indonesia and Quakeshakes will not only show you where but why. You'll will learn that this is an area where the Australian and the mighty Eurasian plates collide, forming a convergent boundary, and is part of the infamous Alpide Belt", which extends all the way out to the Atlantic.

You will also learn that it's not very far from the location of the massive December 2004 quake that killed a quarter of a million people in the resulting tsunamis.
