Earthquake is the event that takes its source from the depths of the earth in its broadest sense and causes sudden vibrations that occur as a result of fractures within the earth's crust, causing waves to shake the earth's surface. In this study, it was aimed to determine the knowledge levels of prospective science teachers about earthquake. The sample of the study consists of 24 4th grade students studying in the Science Teaching Department of the Department of Mathematics and Science Education, Faculty of Education, Agri İbrahim Cecen University. In this research, Earthquake Achievement Test taken from literature was used for prospective science teachers from literature. The obtained data were analyzed by descriptive analysis method.
