One Hundred Years Of Earthquakes

Kenneth Davis has been busy Visualizing One Hundred Years of Earthquakes. He has created iii dissimilar maps from the information to demo earthquake action through time, a heat-map of all quakes over the end i hundred years together with a depth map of the quake data.

The animated Torque powered map shows a marked increase inwards earthquakes afterward the 1950's. This isn't a number of to a greater extent than earthquakes exactly due to the always increasing improvements inwards touchstone together with recording seismic activity.

The heat-map provides a slap-up overview of the error lines inwards the tectonic plates together with where those faults accept caused the nearly seismic activity. The depth map reveals the geometry of subduction zones, where 2 tectonic plates are colliding together with i plunges beneath the other.
