Mapping with Leaflet

USGS

live demo

Welcome to the United States Geological Survey, or USGS for short!

For this challenge:

• Analyzed two datasets.

  • Earthquake data from USGS live feed.

  • Tectonic plates data from https://github.com/fraxen/tectonicplates.

• Created a map using Leaflet.js that plots all of the earthquakes from data set based on their longitude and latitude.

• Data markers reflects the magnitude of the earthquake in their size and color. Earthquakes with higher magnitudes should appear larger and darker in color.

• Included popups that provide additional information about the earthquake when a marker is clicked.

• Create a legend that will provide context for your map data.

• Plot second data set on the map to illustrate the relationship between tectonic plates and seismic activity.

• Added a number of base maps to choose from as well as separate out two different data sets into overlays that can be turned on and off independently.

• Added layer controls to map.
