This interactive map is set to show quakes around the world in the last month, with all types of magnitude.
Quakes are profoundly destructive, particularly around urban centers.
Here we have gems, both uncut and finished.
Minerals go hand in hand with rocks, occurring in a variety of ways around the world.
Silicate minerals are very common.
Less common are non-silicate ores and minerals

DeleteIn the northern Netherlands, we occasionally experience minor earthquakes as a result of gas extraction.
