Fork of Ver6 Earthquakes_drb
✓ Published0🌍 Public
This interactive visualization displays earthquake data from the USGS feed on an equirectangular world map, with tectonic plate boundaries overlaid. Users filter events by depth and magnitude through dropdown menus, while circle size encodes magnitude and color encodes depth category (shallow, intermediate, deep). The D3.js visualization supports dragging to rotate the globe, zooming, and clicking circles to open the USGS event page in a new tab. Hovering reveals a tooltip with magnitude, location, time, and depth. Data is fetched from the USGS GeoJSON API and the world atlas via `d3.geoEquirectangular` and `geoPath`.
