Mapping Earthquakes

Interactive maps using jQuery, Leaflet, GeoJSON data to map earthquakes.

Earthquake

Overview of Project

In this module, you will use the Leaflet.js Application Programming Interface (API) to populate a geographical map with GeoJSON earthquake data from a URL. Each earthquake will be visually represented by a circle and color, where a higher magnitude will have a larger diameter and will be darker in color. In addition, each earthquake will have a popup marker that, when clicked, will show the magnitude of the earthquake and the location of the earthquake.

Analysis

Use a set of URLs to map earthquake data (USGS) and retrieve geographical coordinates and the magnitudes of earthquakes for the last seven days and use different styles of maps to display the information.

Data:

https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/all_week.geojson

https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/all_month.geojson

The rest are on jsons in the repository

Results

Retrieve the coordinates and magnitudes of the earthquakes from the GeoJSON data that is hosted on earthquake.usgs.gov. Using a Mapbox API, the Leaflet JS library through an API request and create interactivity for the earthquake data.

A helpful checklist to gauge how your README is coming on what I would like to finish:

  • Trying to finish a time series control where you could scrub back and forth between dates.
