Use JavaScript, Leaflet, GeoJSON, and mapbox to create mobile-friendly interactive earthquake maps.
Phase1 of this project used Leaflet to create a street-view and satellite-view map with an otpional overlay of earthquake data from quakes over the past 7 days. The overlay data includes circle markers and the quake location that were sized and colored according to quake magnitude. The map contains a control to toggle the overlay and map view, as well as a legend to explain the color used to represent each magnitude.
The purpose of this project is to expand on the map created in Phase1 to include visualization of tectonic plates, larger magnitude earthquakes, and additional base map tiles.
- Add tectonic plate data
- Add all earthquakes with > 4.5 magnitude
- Add an additional map
- Data Sources: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/
- Technology: JavaScript, Leaflet library, D3 library, GeoJSON, mapbox
