Is there a science question on your mind? The USGS FAQ database contains hundreds of answers to frequently asked questions on a wide range of natural science topics. Browse by subject to see if your question has already been answered! Great for class warm ups or for trivia contests.
Natural Hazards Gateway
The USGS Natural Hazards Gateway offers a one-stop shop to learn about natural hazards (earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, landslides, tsunamis, volcanoes, and wildfires). The site also links to real-time data that can be useful to citizens and emergency support personnel who must make important decisions before, during, and after a natural disaster.
2002 Earthquake Probability Mapping
You can generate a customized earthquake rate and probability model from 2002 for any zip code in the US. The site allows you to control both the magnitude threshold (down to 5.0) and the exposure time. Because this is dealing with probabilities I would recommend reviewing the links regarding "what the various parameters mean" before discussing the numbers with students.

National Earthquake Information Center - NEIC
National Earthquake Information Center, Dr. Waverly Person The mission of the National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) is to determine rapidly the location and size of all destructive earthquakes worldwide and to immediately disseminate this information to concerned national and international agencies, scientists, and the general public. The NEIC/WDC for Seismology compiles and maintains an extensive, global seismic database on earthquake parameters and their effects that serves as a solid foundation for basic and applied earth science research. Please visit the World Data Center web site to learn more about the WDC system.

Geology - NAU
The Department of Geology at Northern Arizona is located at the doorstep to the Grand Canyon, the San Francisco Volcanic Field, and the redrock of the Colorado Plateau. Unsurpassed exposures of rock teach students and researchers alike about how continents are built and how their surfaces evolve over time.
