QCNLive Description
A tool for describing earthquakes and earthquake science QCNLive is a free software designed to be an educational tool for describing earthquakes and earthquake science in the classroom. QCNLive has two modes: earthquake viewing and sensor viewing. The plots (from bottom to top) are of x, y, and Z acceleration, and the measure of significance of the acceleration relative to the "noise" in the prior 1 minute window.Earthquake Viewing Mode: The day and night views allow students to search the globe for the most recent earthquakes. The day view is easier to orient to, yet the night view shows where people live. The pink lines show the major plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at the plate boundaries, where the plates slide by each other. The seismic hazard is greatest where people live and earthquakes occur regularly. By clicking on each earthquake (red bubble) you can learn more about the earthquake. By double clicking each earthquake, you jump to the USGS website for that earthquake. Requirements: · G4 PowerPC
