Geomagnetism - Information from the British Geological Survey.

MARGINS Program - NSF funded program which tries to understand the complex interplay of processes that govern the evolution of continental margins by a multidisciplinary approach, including seismicity and subduction processes.

natureandco.com - Tectonics and Earthquakes in New Zealand - New Zealand ranks among the most active seismic places on earth: earthquakes occur there frequently and continuously. Detailed information with images, references, links, and books to buy.

New Theory About Earthquakes - Suggests that gravity effects of the sun and the moon on the Earth are a major factor in the occurrence of seismic activity.
