In this project, I used leaflet to visualize the United States Geological Survey (USGS) past 30 days M4.5+ earthquakes dataset. I created layers of maps with circles represent all of the earthquakes from this data set based on their longitude, latitude, depth, and magnitude.
- The data markers reflect the earthquake's magnitude by their size and depth of the earthquake by color. Earthquakes with higher magnitudes should appear larger, and earthquakes with greater depth should appear darker in color.
- The popups provide additional information (the magnitude, the location, and depth) about the earthquake when a marker is clicked.
- The legend shows the depth and their corresponding color.
- A second data set on the map illustrates the relationship between tectonic plates and seismic activity. Data on tectonic plates can be found at https://github.com/fraxen/tectonicplates.
