sketchfab

All earthquakes with a magnitude above 2.5 that have occurred since January 1, 2000, total more than half a million seismic events. Following the annotations will pinpoint some of the most intense or deadly seismic events over the last 20 years. Pro-tip: Double-click on a specific area to focus on it, or click anywhere else to recenter the view! The color mapping is from 2.5 (black/dark purple) to 7 (bright yellow). Earthquakes depth is exaggerated by three times their actual measure. Data for earthquakes comes from the USGS Earthquake Catalog. Landmask data is provided by NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory. The Python script used can be found here if you're curious!
