Geoscience Australia has been researching, mapping and documenting earthquakes in Australia and associated regions since 1840. Information about the causes of earthquakes, where earchquakes occur, and emergency management of earthquakes is available on this website. This website allows users to report their experiences during an earthquake, plot a seismogram of a recent erathquake, view recent earthquakes RSS feed, find out more about RSS feeds and view the latest media release. This website also has a worldwide section that allows users to view worldwide earthquakes over the past 24 hours; and regional earthquakes from the last two weeks. The option to view and understand more about RSS feed is also present in the 'worldwide' section of the form. Latest media releases of worldwide earthquakes is also included in the form. You can create your own map by adding layers and details in both Australia and worldwide searches.
