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 concluding 1 hundred years too 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 effect of to a greater extent than earthquakes only due to the e'er increasing improvements inwards criterion too recording seismic activity.

The heat-map provides a cracking overview of the error lines inwards the tectonic plates too where those faults bring caused the almost seismic activity. The depth map reveals the geometry of subduction zones, where 2 tectonic plates are colliding too 1 plunges beneath the other.
