Jon,

I agree with John.  I just bought the full poster from USGS and it is a 
"dandy."

  Hi Jon,

  For an excellent overview of global tectonics, there is a new version
  of the This Dynamic Planet poster available here:
  http://www.minerals.si.edu/tdpmap/.  The PDF version is huge, but
  once downloaded would be very helpful via the zoom-in tool of Adobe 
reader.

  During the past few years the USGS has produced a summary posters
  following the most significant earthquakes.  They are very helpful in
  providing insight into the tectonics of each region.  For example, this 
poster:
  ftp://hazards.cr.usgs.gov/maps/sigeqs/20020325/20020325.pdf  was made
  following a 2002 magnitude 7.4 event in the Hindu Kush.  Again, the
  pdf format is large, but includes all of the details when the zoom-in
  tool of Adobe reader is used.

  Links to all of the posters are included here:

  Cheers,
  John
