I lived in Los Angeles, CA for a few years and thought that it would be cool to create a webpage to deliver information about seismic activity. Fortunately, there is a wealth of data available that is collected by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and many other agencies. So I got to work creating a webpage to make it easy for users to learn about the latest seismic events.

  • Map - displays location of all reported seismic events within given time frame and range of magnitudes. Also scales out a circle that corresponds to the magnitude and shows information about the event when hovering over each circle.
  • Chart - timeline that summarizes all reported seismic events.
