However, you must beware of data waffle describing masses of data rather than actually utilising it. The key as always is to look for trends, choose one or two pieces of data to illustrate the point (but not too many) and identify any anomalies that may be apparent.

Data analysis use of statistical techniques.TheRichter magnitude scale(often shortened toRichter scale) was developed to assign a single number to quantify the energy released during anearthquake.

The scale is abase-10logarithmic scale. The magnitude is defined as the logarithm of the ratio of theamplitudeof waves measured by aseismographto an arbitrary small amplitude. An earthquake that measures 5.0 on the Richter scale has a shaking amplitude 10 times larger than one that measures 4.0, and corresponds to a 31.6 times larger release of energy.[1]Since the mid-20th century, the use of the Richter magnitude scale has largely been supplanted by themoment magnitude scalein many countries.

Also worth noting is that earthquake measurements under the moment magnitude scale in the United States3.5 and up, on the MMS scaleare still usually erroneously referred to as being measured under the Richter scale in the general public, as well as the media, due to the familiarity with earthquakes being measured by the Richter scale instead of the MMS scale.Themoment magnitude scale(abbreviated asMMS; denoted asMWorM) is used byseismologiststo measure the size ofearthquakesin terms of the energy released.[1]The magnitude is based on theseismic momentof the earthquake, which is equal to the rigidity of the Earth multiplied by the average amount of slip on thefaultand the size of the area that slipped.[2]The scale was developed in the 1970s to succeed the 1930s-eraRichter magnitude scale(ML). Even though the formulae are different, the new scale retains the familiar continuum of magnitude values defined by the older one. The MMS is now the scale used to estimate magnitudes for all modern large earthquakes by theUnited States Geological Survey.[3] You should also think about ways of manipulating data; looking at proportions, percentage changes etc. (has anything doubled/ tripled/halved?)

Item 6a. Familiarise yourselves with these websitesb. How good are the first two websites in conveying information and advice? What is particularly effective?AQA say.Use of the Internet This can be very useful from the point of view of researching relevant material and getting a feel for the topic and location. In some cases, the AIB itself acknowledges various internet sites and these are well worth looking into. You may even be directed to certain websites. However, you should be careful that you are not drawn into extensive research of complex sites which may have marginal relevance or may provide biased points of view.
