  11. Taking Yellowstone’s PulseEarthquakes • Data files: • Yellowstone’s 200 most recent earthquakes (as of January 2012). • Yellowstone’s 200 largest earthquakes. • Earthquakes from the last week. • The National Park Service map as an overlay. • Satellite images of the ground (LiDAR). • Instructions: • Instructions for using Google Earth. • Instructions for converting an Excel spreadsheet into a file for Google Earth.
