Earthquake Markers
On the maps each coloured dot orb or marker represents an earthquake, the colours indicate the size range.
The epicentre of the earthquake event is at the base of the orb.Map Navigation
On the interactive maps clicking on an individual icon will open a small popup tag inside the map frame giving the detail information for that quake.
Once you have finished reading that tag you can simply click in the background map to close that tag and select another if you wish.
You can also move the map around inside the frame by clicking and holding down the left button of your mouse on the map itself, rather than having to use the up/down/left and right arrows.You can see the earthquake maps in various versions, ie map, satellite, terrain and even Google Earth.
At the bottom of each interactive map is text saying "see larger map". This will open a new page with the same map, but with the icons and magnitudes also as a list. The list is in a ascending time order. You can click on an icon on the map or a magnitude number on the list and a detail balloon (tag) will pop up on the map from the location of the event.
Google Earth Viewing
From here you can also click on the "View in Google Earth" button which will open the kml file in the real Google Earth rather than inside the Google Maps i-frame. This can be handy when you want to see multiple years events together.
You may have to zoom in on the map if you are looking for details of an icon that is in a cluster.
