Bookmarks on earthquakes and plate tectonics
These links are accessible from the list of bookmarks on the course home page. Use Netscape to go to this address: (http://research.umbc.edu/~miller/geog111.html)
I encourage you to look them up, particularly the first group from a course at the University of Nevada - Reno. If you do access this group of web pages, be warned that it has a large number of images and will load slowly unless you are on a pretty fast machine on campus. But you would do well to spend an hour in the SGI labs over in the Engineering/Computer Science building in order to look up these references.
