Earthquakes, Volcanoes

We've been discussing earthquakes and volcanoes and there is definitely a correlation between the two. In the post about the Chilean earthquake I posted a link about the "Pacific Ring of Fire."

Here is another equally interesting link with information about plate tectonics (the stuff that causes earthquakes) and there are some very interesting graphics that shows all the major plates on the earth and the forms of motion that those plates can cause when they move. Hope you find it interesting and informative.

Underwater Volcanic Eruption Filmed

From the University of Washington - footage of an active underwater volcanic eruption in progress. In the Pacific Ocean near Samoa, Fiji, and Tonga. Fascinating to watch, 4,000 feet under water:
