Hi Sudhira, Thanks for this - yes USGS is a great source, also agree with Mapbox. Here is an example from Github that uses Mapbox to 'animate' earthquakes in Chile since 1900: http://pnavarrc.github.io/earthquake/
Also, USGS themselves has some good stuff - here is a neat Google Map that shows a live view of earthquakes across the globe: http://maps.google.com/gallery/details?id=z4f-ZuCLmiKg.kjEKRL8AzeQM&hl=en Regards, Ankur On Wednesday, June 4, 2014 6:58:04 PM UTC-4, H.
