Mapping Earthquakes
Interactive maps using jQuery, Leaflet, GeoJSON data to map earthquakes.
Overview of Project
The purpose of this project is to visually show the differences between the magnitudes of earthquakes all over the world for the last seven days with jQuery, Leaflet, GeoJSON data.
Analysis
Use a set of URLs to map earthquake data (USGS) and retrieve geographical coordinates and the magnitudes of earthquakes for the last seven days and use different styles of maps to display the information.
Data:
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/all_week.geojson
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/all_month.geojson
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fraxen/tectonicplates/master/GeoJSON/PB2002_boundaries.json
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/josem279/Mapping_Earthquakes/main/4.5_week.geojson
Results
Your approach will be to use jQuery library to retrieve the coordinates and magnitudes of the earthquakes from the GeoJSON data that is hosted on earthquake.usgs.gov. Using a Mapbox API, the Leaflet JS library through an API request and create interactivity for the earthquake data.
