The Education and Outreach Program is developing PowerPoint slide presentations based on recent earthquakes. Teachers can download the PowerPoint file to use in classroom presentations. Some of the slides include animations and movies to illustrate the event.

We hope to offer more teachable moments, and are interested in your feedback and experience!
