Earthquake
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.
Visualization
Visualizations created from the dataset offer insights into the temporal trends, geographical distribution, and impact of the earthquakes.
- Trend of Earthquake Record Entries: This visualization shows the trend of earthquake record entries over the years based on the "Entry Date".
- Distribution of Earthquake Magnitudes: This histogram provides a snapshot of the distribution of earthquake magnitudes.
- Countries Most Affected: Several visualizations highlight the countries with the most deaths, injuries, and damages due to earthquakes.
- Heatmap of Earthquake Magnitudes: This interactive heatmap provides a visual representation of earthquake occurrences, with intensity indicating the magnitude of the earthquakes.
