 Update March 16, 2010- Los Angeles area 4.4 moderate earthquake.

Read more on the 4.4 LA quake at CNN

March 14, 2010- Another earthquake occurred, this time in Japan but overall reports did not seem too bad this time. There has been a lot of earthquake activity, including the recent one in Chile that had generated a Pacific wide Tsunami warning, (that was less damaging than feared).

 Here is a nice overview on what causes earthquakes from MSNBC. I suggest to also click the earthquake tab before checking out the other maps. Check out the interactive  Earthquake map here

You can see recent earthquake activity at the USGS
