Dr. Norman Abrahamson's talk, "Incorporating Effects of Near Fault Tectonic
Deformation into Design Ground Motions". The presentation is hosted by the
University at Buffalo Earthquake Engineering Research Institute Student Chapter
(UB-EERI), and provides the opportunity to listen to the speaker and see the
powerpoint at the same time. An excellent application of the internet in
education!

The Soil Liquefaction Web Site , is developed by Jorgen Johansson under the
supervision of Professor Steven L. Kramer of the University of Washington. It
contains up-to-date information on soil liquefaction and uses the videos and
photos.

Non destructive test methods of stone and rock including geophysics. I think that
the introduction describes the site perfectly:
"This report contains an overview of geophysical and civil engineering
non-destructive test methods, which may be applied to the study of stone and
rock. Mechanical and electrical methods are presented and their technical and
economical feasibility are estimated. The mechanical methods contain the
seismic, ultrasonic, hammer and the acoustic emission methods. The electrical
methods are the radar, resistivity and the electromagnetic methods."The site
was proposed by Paul W. Mayne and we thank him for his assistance.

The elastic rebound theory. What it is, and a really interesting animation . Also,
from the USGS site a photo of the deformation of a fence during the 1906, San
Andreas Earthquake.

Earthquake effects & experiences, FAQ, published by the USGS. All the basics,
and a good reference.

How earthquakes work. An article on the causes and the effects of the
earthquakes. Very good for those who want to learn the basics
