This
activity
describes
the
technique

"GIS-ready"
data
and
shows
how
to
map
that
data
and
conduct
basic
analyses
using
a
geographic
information
system
(GIS).
First,
you
will
download
and
format
near
real-time
and
historical
earthquake
data
from
the
USGS.
Using
latitude
and
longitude
fields,
you
will
then
plot
these
data
in
a
GIS.
Next,
you
will
analyze
patterns
by
querying
records
and
