Earthquakes over the World and in Turkey
This repository contains a project that aims to analyze and visualize earthquake data over the world and in Turkey. The project uses earthquake data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), which provides real-time and historical earthquake data through an API.
Results
The project generates various plots that provide insights into earthquake data over the world and in Turkey. Some of the key results are:
- The frequency of earthquakes over the world has been increasing over the past century, but the number of large earthquakes (magnitude > 7) has remained relatively constant.
- Turkey is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world, with several major earthquakes (magnitude > 7) occurring in the past century.
- The distribution of earthquake magnitudes over the world and in Turkey follows a power-law distribution, with a few large earthquakes and many small earthquakes.
Future Work
The project could be extended in several ways, such as:
- Analyzing the correlation between earthquakes and other factors, such as tectonic plates, fault lines, and geological features.
- Using machine learning techniques to predict the likelihood and severity of earthquakes.
