Silicon Valley is well known as the home of technology companies like
Google, but it's also one of many regions around the world with frequent
earthquake activity. When we in the Bay Area feel an earthquake, we want to
know
how strong it was and where it occurred, as soon as possible. After
all, even a
small vibration could be the result of a severe earthquake far
away.
Traditionally, we've had to wait for answers as reporters scrambled to
investigate and spread the news. But thanks to the US Geological Survey (USGS), we can get
earthquake data straight from the source.Now, when you search for "earthquakes" on Google,
you'll get information on some of the most recent, significant earthquakes
from
around the world, right on the search results page. From there, you can
click
through to the USGS
Earthquake
Center for more information, or visit the epicenter of any
quake on Google
Maps. To find earthquakes closer to home, you can add a
location to your query,
for example: "earthquakes
California."
