This map visualizes the geographic distribution of earthquakes with a magnitude of 5.0 or higher, recorded from August 2016 to August 2017. Each earthquake is depicted as a circle, with its size and color scaled according to magnitude, using a yellow-to-red gradient. The visualization employs the D3.js library, specifically `d3.geo.equirectangular` for the map projection, `d3.geo.path` for rendering landmasses, and `d3.scale.sqrt` for scaling circle radius and color. Data is sourced from a CSV file, and the final output is rendered as an SVG with WebGL support.

Earthquakes since 1965

This world map displays significant earthquakes since 1965, using circles sized by magnitude, with tooltips showing country and magnitude. The visualization renders on an SVG canvas using React and D3 v5, employing `geoNaturalEarth1` projection with `geoPath`, `geoGraticule`, and world atlas TopoJSON for land boundaries. Earthquake data comes from a cleaned CSV of the Kaggle USGS dataset. Semi-transparent red circles encode magnitude through a square-root scale, overlaid on light blue oceans and green landmasses.

Earthquake Map

This map visualizes global earthquake activity from September 2015, plotting seismic events by magnitude and location. Circles sized by magnitude are positioned on a geographic basemap, with a diverging color scale distinguishing stronger quakes. The visualization reads earthquake records from a CSV containing time, coordinates, depth, and magnitude, and renders the data using SVG.

Earthquake Map

This map visualizes global earthquake activity over a two-week period in September 2015. Each circle marks an earthquake, sized by magnitude and colored by depth, with larger and darker circles indicating stronger, shallower events. The visualization uses the D3.js library to project earthquake epicenters onto a world map, with a legend clarifying the depth-color mapping and magnitude scaling. The map is rendered with SVG, with circles positioned by latitude and longitude coordinates from the dataset. The included data shows a cluster of significant seismic activity off the coast of Chile, as well as events across the Pacific Ring of Fire. The visualization effectively communicates the global distribution of earthquakes and relative intensities through its circle sizing and color scheme.

Ver6 Earthquakes

This interactive map visualizes the world's recent earthquakes as colored circles on a geographic projection. Users can filter the display by earthquake depth and magnitude through dropdown menus, revealing patterns in seismic activity. Circle size corresponds to magnitude, while color indicates depth category (shallow, intermediate, or deep). The visualization uses d3.geoEquirectangular to project the map, fetches live earthquake data from the USGS API, and includes tectonic plate boundaries for context. Earthquake circles link to event detail pages and display a tooltip with magnitude, location, time, and depth on hover. Users can drag the globe to pan the world view.

Earthquakes on Map

This map visualizes global earthquake activity from the past week, highlighting that most events cluster along tectonic plate boundaries, particularly around the Pacific Ocean. Circle size corresponds to magnitude, while color indicates depth category (shallow, intermediate, deep). The visualization uses D3’s geoEquirectangular projection, fetch and json for loading data from the USGS earthquake feed and tectonic plate GeoJSON, and includes dropdown menus to filter by depth and magnitude. Users can click circles to open earthquake detail pages, drag to rotate the globe, and zoom via D3’s zoom and drag interactions.

Worldwide Earthquake stats 2000-2015

This visualization displays earthquake statistics from 2000 to 2015, plotting the count of magnitude 8.0+ earthquakes per year as orange circles on an SVG canvas. The data is loaded from a CSV file and rendered using D3 v5’s `scaleLinear`, `axisBottom`, `axisLeft`, and `select` APIs, with gridlines generated via `tickSize`. Circle positions map year and earthquake count through the x and y scales, while axis labels and a title are added as SVG text elements.

Worldwide Earthquake stats 2000-2015

This visualization displays earthquake frequency by magnitude range from 2000 to 2015, using four smoothed lines to represent counts of quakes in the 5-5.9, 6-6.9, 7-7.9, and 8.0+ categories. The chart, built with D3 v5, uses `scaleTime` for the year axis, `scaleLinear` for the count axis, and `line` with `curveBasis` for the smoothed paths. Each magnitude range has a distinct color, with a legend and title included. Data comes from an external CSV file in the Data Canvas Sense Your City dataset.

draft earthquake data

This visualization uses earthquake data from a USGS dataset to map seismic events by location and magnitude on a world map. Each earthquake is represented as a circle, with its size scaled by magnitude and its position determined by latitude/longitude coordinates. The depth of the quakes is encoded through color, creating a gradient from shallow to deep events. The map is rendered with SVG paths for continents, and a custom tooltip provides details on click or hover. Circles are drawn with D3's data-join and scaled using a linear magnitude scale, while the map projection and graticule are set up with D3's geo utilities. The visualization highlights the global distribution and intensity of recent seismic activity, with Nepal, Japan, and the South Pacific clearly standing out.
