United States Geological Survey(USGS) Earthquakes Data Visualization

The United States Geological Survey, or USGS for short, 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. Their scientists develop new methods and tools to supply timely, relevant, and useful information about the Earth and its processes.

They collect a massive amount of earthquake data from all over the world each day. This tool will allow them to visualize their earthquake data and display it in a meaningful way. This will allow them to better educate the public and other government organizations (and hopefully secure more funding) on issues facing our planet.

This tool creates the map with the visualization results of the collected earthquakes and tectonic plates data.
