Add Layer from Web
Next, we’ll add a KML (Keyhole Markup Language) Layer that’s publically available on a remote server; one such example is USGS Live Earthquakes, which shows earthquakes that have happened over the past 24 hours. Click Add on the map menu options and select Add Layer from Web, change the type to A KML file and type the following URL into the text field: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/2.5_month_age.kml
Once entered, click Add Layer to add it to the map.
