Mapping global earthquakes from the past 7 days.

Table of Contents

Background

This site pulls data from the usgs Earthquake Hazards Program. Using global earthquake data from the past 7 days, each earthquake is mapped using Leaflet.

The Map

  • The "default" map layer is from OpenStreetMap, the Topographic layer is from OpenTopoMap and the grayscale layer is from Stamen
  • Marker size corresponds to the earthquake's magnitude.
  • Marker color corresponds to the earthquake's depth - shallow quakes are yellow, and deep quakes are red, with colors interpolated sequentially in between.
  • Each marker has a popup box with the following info:
    • Magnitude
    • Depth
    • Location Description (EG "24 km ENE of Krasnogorsk, Russia")
    • Coordinates
