Big Quakes Trigger Small Quakes
Seismologists found that
L-waves, slow-moving seismic
surface waves, from larger
earthquakes can trigger
smaller earthquakes as they
travel through the ground.
Different from aftershocks

Predicting When Tornadoes Will Strike
Meteorologists found
connections between the sea
surface temperature in the
tropical Pacific Ocean and
the occurrence of tornadoes
in unlikely parts of the
North American continent.

More Accurate Hurricane Predictions
Meteorologists can make long
range predictions about
hurricane activity months in
advance using what they call
the Atlantic Meridional
Mode. It is the relationship
between sea surface

Volcano Warning!
Geologists combined research
from around the country with
Google Maps to show where
volcanoes could erupt in the
United States. The website
is constantly updated to
reflect the current status
of individual volcanoes, and
