The USGS provides an automatically updating KML feed for recent earthquakes at https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/kml.php. It produces the KML below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Since this wouldn't need to be used often, I think we should add this as a layer, but it should be off by default.
