This website Seismic Monitor allows you to monitor global earthquakes in near real-time, visit seismic stations around the world, and search the web for earthquake or region-related information. You can also view seismograms and make dataset requests via its WILBER interface.
Earthquakes are shown as colored circles on a world map, where the size of the circle tells you the magnitude of the quake, using the legend at the top left of the map. Only earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 or greater are displayed.
Seismic Monitor is updated every 20 minutes.
The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Education & Outreach (E&O) program, in collaboration with the seismological and educational communities, develops and implements programs designed to enhance seismology and Earth Science education in K-12 schools, colleges and universities, and in adult education.
In addition to the real-time Seismic Monitor website, IRIS offers:
Lessons and Resources For Educators
Professional Development for Educators
School Seismographs
IRIS/USGS Museum display
Summer Internship Opportunities
