This visualization shows the trend of earthquake record entries over the years based on the "Entry Date".

Earthquake Data Analysis

This dataset provides detailed information on global earthquake occurrences. The data spans a wide time range, capturing multiple decades of seismic activities. Key attributes include the location (latitude and longitude) of the earthquake, its magnitude, the date of entry, as well as the resulting damages, injuries, and deaths. Some salient findings from the data include the distribution of earthquake magnitudes, regions most affected by these seismic activities, and the correlation between earthquake magnitude and the damages caused. The data serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, policymakers, and organizations aiming to understand and mitigate the impacts of earthquakes. The data source and original citation can be found at the end of this documentation.

A and B are free points. Whenever the board is updated, e.g. after a drag event, the x-coordinate of A is set to 1 and the y-coordinate of B is set to 1. Therefore, A moves on the vertical line through x=1, B moves on the horizontal line through y=1. <jsxgraph width="600" height="600"> var brd = JXG.JSXGraph.initBoard('jxgbox',{axis:true,boundingbox:[-1,2,2,-1]});

var A = brd.create('point', [1,0]); var B = brd.create('point', [0,1]);

brd.on('move', function(){

       A.moveTo([1, A.Y()]);
       B.moveTo([B.X(), 1]);

}); </jsxgraph>

The JavaScript code

<source lang="javascript"> var brd = JXG.JSXGraph.initBoard('jxgbox',{axis:true,boundingbox:[-1,2,2,-1]});

var A = brd.create('point', [1,0]); var B = brd.create('point', [0,1]);

brd.on('move', function(){

       A.moveTo([1, A.Y()]);
       B.moveTo([B.X(), 1]);

}); </source>
