# USGS_Earthquake_Visualisation
An interactive web-based map to visualise earthquake data collected by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), highlighting the relationship between tectonic plates and seismic activity.
# Background
The USGS is responsible for providing scientific data about natural hazards, the health of our ecosystems and environment, and the impacts of climate and land-use change. They collect a vast amount of earthquake data from around the world daily. This project aims to develop a visualisation tool for USGS data, allowing them to better educate the public and other government organisations on issues facing our planet.
# Features
- Leaflet-based interactive map
- Visualisation of earthquake data based on longitude and latitude
- Data markers reflecting earthquake magnitude (size) and depth (color)
- Popups with additional information about each earthquake
- Map legend providing context for the data
- Visualisation of tectonic plates dataset
- Multiple base maps and overlays
- Layer controls for independent toggling of datasets
# Data Sources
Earthquake data: USGS GeoJSON Feed
# Installation
1. Clone the repository.
2. Open the index.html file in a web browser.
# Usage
Explore the interactive map to see the earthquake data visualised with markers representing magnitude and depth. Click on individual markers to get more information about each earthquake.
