Science lesson using Google maps

I would like to use the Google map for a lesson on plate tectonics. I think the map creating for Google is a great tool. In an Earth Science setting you could create so many informative maps on geologic time, plate tectonics, geologic features and formations, etc.
Here I have created a map of some of the major earth quakes that have been recorded in the United States. I would like students to view the map and review the quakes listed. They will then explain to me if they thought the quakes happened where they expected or if there were some strange locations for some of these. Most middle and high school students only think of California as an area where quakes occur. This is a great way for students to see how plates and zones have a great effect on where quakes occur. I will have them pick a quake from 4 different areas of the United States and explain why they are occuring here. I will be looking for terms like Transform faults, Subduction zones, converging, and diverging as ways to explain what they find.
