Plate tectonic Earth map
Visually accessible and scientifically accurate global map of key plate tectonics characteristics on the Earth.
Earthquakes are illustrated in this collection of accurate, accessible science graphics, designed to make understanding the causes and effects of seismic activity clear and engaging. These visuals cover faulting, plate movements, earthquake waves, and associated hazards, helping explain how stress accumulation and release shape Earth’s surface. Ideal for educators, students, and geoscience enthusiasts, this earthquake graphic collection turns complex seismological concepts into visually rich, easy-to-grasp resources for teaching and learning about one of Earth’s most powerful natural phenomena.
