Earthquakes in the Quake list can be sorted by date and time, magnitude or the distance from your current location or any other location on Earth which you choose (even the epicenter of any earthquake). You can also choose to always see strong earthquakes (magnitude 6.0 or greater) on this view no matter where they occur.

Each earthquake also shows you a map of the epicenter and a list of nearby earthquakes.

On the Quake map, you can review the past week's earthquakes on a world map. Look for patterns, and see how earthquakes reveal the presence of faults in the earth's crust.
