DescriptionWelcome to EarthquakeTouch, the first app that provides constant updates of worldwide earthquake information and displays it on a high resolution 3D globe. Unlike other earthquake notification systems, the visual elements on the user-friendly interface of EarthquakeTouch immediately allow for greater depth of understanding and potential for research. Earthquakes are displayed as bright sparkling dots on a richly colored globe, making them easy to see and compelling to study. The user can view global earthquake patterns, study earthquake clusters in a chosen region, or even pinpoint a particular earthquake and show the exact location of its epicenter on the drop-down map by a simple touch of that earthquakes information box. Two-finger zooming allows the user to view the data at street level, providing a much greater understanding of location than latitude and longitude alone. Latest 7 days data about earthquake magnitude, location, date, time and depth are fetched every 2 minutes from USGS, providing precise and reliable information. The most recent earthquake activity is shown with a red spinning disc, and users can choose to receive notifications of earthquakes that occur in their area. This app is an invaluable tool for those living near a volcano or near the earths major seismic faults, weather reporters, geologists, inner-earth mapping and those interested in seismology.Customer ReviewsCool app (5 stars)Love the 3D globe and also the 2D map for close-up location. Keep it up! Not bad (4 stars) Pretty cool 3d graphics. Worth the price. Cool educational tool! (5 stars) This is a very informative tool if you are interested in seismic activity. I can see that it has great potential as an educational tool for k-12 as well as higher education. Do you want your kids to get excited about science? Give this gift....provided you have already gifted them an iPhone or iPad!!!
