This page offers a compilation of multimedia resources for creating "teachable moments" on the earthquakes. Of particular note is the material for the earthquake/tsunami that struck northern Japan in 2011. Tectonic maps, computer animations, seismograms, aerial and ground photographs, Power Point slides for teachers, news footage, preliminary rupture models, and a comparison map that shows tectonic similarities between the coast of northeastern Japan and the west coast of the United States are available.
This web site is maintained by IRIS, the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology, a consortium of laboratories and data collection centers who act in concert to ensure flow of data to the international seismological research community. Please note that this resource requires Quicktime.
