Fork of 1116 Taiwan Earthquake
This interactive visualization explores Taiwan earthquake data from 1973 to 2024, showing on a map where earthquakes of higher magnitude or depth occur, and using a scatterplot to examine correlations between magnitude and focal depth. Users can select a year via slider and choose attributes for the scatterplot axes and color encoding. A heatmap reveals frequency of magnitude ranges over time. Built with D3 v5, the map uses `d3.geoMercator` projection and TopoJSON county boundaries, while the scatterplot employs `d3.zoom` and custom scales. Earthquake data comes from the Taiwan government’s open dataset.
AI-generated descriptionWelcome to my project. The dataset I picked is the earthquake data in Taiwan.
Tasks I want to explore are:
- Where do earthquakes of higher magnitude or depth tend to occur more frequently? In which city or county in Taiwan? In which region of Taiwan?
- Is there any correlation between the magnitude of earthquakes and their focal depth?
- How do the frequency and magnitude of earthquakes vary over time?
The website contains visualizations for other tasks. Please take a look at Tasks 3, 4 and 5.
You could interact with the map and scatterplot by choosing a specific year, the x attribute, and y attribute of the scatterplot and mouse over the dots in the plot.
Things to do:
- Change the color of the heatmap and make it more clear.
- Add tooltip to heatmap.
