I found the following lecture video given by Susan Hough at Menlo Park to be a very enlightening tutorial in learning how earthquakes and earthquake systems function, just in case anybody is interested in learning about them:
Earthquake Storms
Note: Poetically and mythologically speaking, USGS is to the underworld as NASA is to the heavens above. I also found the animations for each of the chapters in this book link to be a helpful guide to learning some of the main processes of geology if you're interested in learning about that...maybe it is better to watch the animations in the book link prior to watching the video in order to have a better idea of fault lines and such. In addition, The Earth's Interior is a good resource for learning about plate tectonics and volcanism.
