Earth statistical maps
World seismicity
Global Seismicity and World Cities --Map showing major earthquake epicenters and their relationship to world cities. Use this map to teach and learn about the distribution and frequency of earthquakes, comparing the earthquakes to the distribution of land masses, oceans, and cities/population. What cities are most at risk from earthquakes? How does your own city compare to others in terms of earthquake risk? On this map, over 39,000 earthquakes are showin with more than 8,300 cities.
Dynamicplanet
This map shows the Earth's physiographic features, the current movements of its major tectonic plates, and the locations of its volcanoes, earthquakes, and impact craters. The use of color and shaded relief helps the reader to identify significant features of the land surface and the ocean floor. Over 1,500 volcanoes active during the past 10,000 years are plotted on the map in four age categories. The locations (epicenters) of over 24,000 earthquakes, largely from 1960 through 2004, are plotted in three magnitude categories and in two depth ranges.[Curtesy of dynamic planet]
Earth-quake century
Century of Great Earthquakes --Use this unique map of major earthquakes in the world from 1897 to 1996 to teach and learn about the relationship of the distribution and pattern of earthquakes to cities, landforms, oceans, countries, and continents. This map shows selected earthquakes of magnitude 7.8 and greater. Portions of the Southwest and North Pacific are not included.

Population distribution
This shows the population density on the planet. The most lighted regions are the most populated.
Pacific Ocean earthquakes
This map shows the distribution of the earthquakes on the different regions of the planet.
