mdbinger/Mapping_Earthquakes

Fetched GeoJSON earthquake data from the USGS website, including coordinates and magnitudes, using JavaScript and the D3.js library. Created an interactive map from Mapbox through an API request, which has settings to toggle options to highlight major earthquakes, show tectonic plates, and change the map view

Mapping Earthquakes

Module 13 of Data Analytics Bootcamp

Purpose

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.

Tasks

Use a URL for GeoJSON earthquake data from the USGS website and retrieve geographical coordinates and the magnitudes of earthquakes for the last seven days. Then add the data to a map.

Approach

Use the JavaScript and the D3.js library to retrieve the coordinates and magnitudes of the earthquakes from the GeoJSON data. Use the Leaflet library to plot the data on a Mapbox map through an API request and create interactivity for the earthquake data.
