Earthquake GeoJSON Mapping

This project displays earthquakes recorded by the USGS over the past week on and interactive map.

Technology

• Leaflet.js
• Javascript
• Mapbox

Level 1: Basic Visualization

Visualiza the earthquake data set with leaflet.

Data set

The USGS provides earthquake data in USGS GeoJSON Feed page and picked a data set to visualize.

Level 2: More Data (Optional)

The USGS wants you to plot a second data set on your map to illustrate the relationship between tectonic plates and seismic activity. Data on tectonic plates can be found at https://github.com/fraxen/tectonicplates.

In this step we are going to..

• Plot a second data set on our map.
• Add a number of base maps to choose from as well as separate out our two different data sets into overlays that can be turned on and off independently.
• Add layer controls to our map.
