Quake Shakes shows you recent worldwide earthquake activity and displays them on a map with info on location, date, time and size. Earthquakes of various magnitudes are displayed with different coloured dots, giving you a dramatic visual record of the seismic activity during the past 24 hours or week. Data feeds come from the US Geological Survey website which is linked to a global network of seismic sensors, recording up-to-the-minute earthquake activity as they happen around the world.
This resource is made using Adobe AIR. AIR is a version of Adobe Flash which installs on your computer. This resource only works if installed on your computer. It is downloaded from the Adobe AIR marketplace. Quake Shakes gets its information from connecting online. There is a warning when installing that the resource may put your computer at risk as it connects to online information and the publisher is unknown. Having tried the resource I think the information that it shows is amazing.
