Earthquake Plug-In 2.0.2

The Earthquake Plug-In is a set of pulg-ins for displaying where earthquakes have happened.

NOTE: The earthquake plug-in is Shareware. A lot more time and work went into this code than what went into the XML version. So, I would appreciate a donation to help cover hosting costs and development tools.

The first of the new earthquake plug-ins is the USGS 7-Day RSS Display, this plug-in downloads the latest USGS RSS feed for earthquakes that have hapened in the last seven days that are greater than 2.5 in magnatude.

The earthquake icons are clickable and take you to the related USGS web page for more information about the earthquake.

The color scheem is this:

Red = 1-2 days
Orange = 3-4 days
Yellow = 5+ days

The size is the magnitude, the more rings there are, the stronger the earthquake.

The second of the two earthquake plug-in is the USGS Historical Query Plug-In. With this plug-in you can query USGS earthquake data all the way back to 1973.

There are multiple query options that can be selected and fine tuned:

As you can see, you get some infomation on the query you have just performed. You get several different earthquake counts and a "Top 5" largest earthquakes that have happened within the specified time frame.

And your World Wind globe will look like this:

The results are different than the RSS plug-in. The colors again relate to age and the size is related to the maganitude. But what is new is the shapes, the shapes are related to the depths the earthquakes happened.
