Students can access and analyse real world earthquake data using online portals created by Geoscience Australia (GA) (Geoscience Australia data portal and Earthquakes@GA). The document provides background information for teachers about earthquakes and the online portals, as well as two student inquiry activities. Each activity includes instructions on how to access and use the relevant portal as well as questions that prompt students to find, record, and interpret the data. An Excel table is provided to accompany one of the activities.

The activities are suitable for use with secondary to senior secondary science and geography students. The topics covered in these activities include: earthquakes, plate tectonics and natural hazards.

The print version has lines provided for written answers, the accessible version is intended for digital responses.
