Mapping_Earthquakes

Purpose

The purpose of this project is to build a map that tracks not only the earthquakes for the past 7 days, but the magnitude as well. The map also includes pop-up information for each incident.

Project Overview

• Use d3.json() to get tectonic plate data and add the data using the L.geoJSON() layer.
• Style the tectonic plate LineString data to stand out on the map.
• Add the tectonic plate data as an overlay with the earthquake data.
• Add a third map style to allow the user to select from three different maps.

Resources

• Data Source: Earthquake Data
• Data Source: Fault Line Data
• Software: Visual Studio Code, 1.38.1, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS & D3.js

Summary

• Access GeoJSON data website here
• The map displays all earthquake data over the past 7 days and it also shows where all tectonic plates are located around the world.
