Significant Earthquake in World: 1970-2019
This interactive scatterplot visualizes significant earthquakes from 1970 to 2019, plotting attributes like magnitude, focal depth, and year on selectable X and Y axes via React dropdowns. Each point’s color indicates tsunami occurrence, with a color legend that fades non-hovered categories on mouseover. Built with React and D3 v5, the chart uses d3.scaleLinear, d3.scaleOrdinal, and SVG circles for marks, and includes axes rendered via custom React components. Data comes from the NOAA significant earthquake database, loaded as CSV through d3.csv.
AI-generated descriptionThis is a visualization of the dataset National Geophysical Data Center / World Data Service (NGDC/WDS): Significant Earthquake Database. National Geophysical Data Center, NOAA significant earthquake database contains information on destructive earthquakes from 1970 to the present. The world map behind the points is a Mercator type map using the World Atlas TopoJSON. The points are off by a small fraction (down and to the left) however it fits much better on the Mercator projection over the Natural Earth projection. When the user hovers over each point, they can see the latitude and logitude of that deployment.
