Interactive Earthquake Map

This Streamlit application displays earthquake data for a selected date range on an interactive map. The data is fetched from the USGS Earthquake Catalog API and can be filtered by magnitude and depth.

Features

Select a date range to view earthquake data Filter earthquakes by minimum and maximum magnitude Filter earthquakes by minimum and maximum depth Interactive map displaying earthquake locations with color-coded markers based on magnitude Data table displaying details of the filtered earthquakes

Installation

To run this application, you need to have Python installed. Follow the steps below to set up and run the application:

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/joncutrer/earthquakemap-streamlit.git

Navigate to the project directory:

cd interactive-earthquake-map

Create a virtual environment:

python -m venv env

Activate the virtual environment:

On Windows:

.\env\Scripts\activate

On macOS and Linux:

source env/bin/activate

Install the required packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Application

Ensure you are in the project directory and the virtual environment is activated.

Run the Streamlit application:

streamlit run earthquakemap_streamlit/streamlit_app.py

Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8501 to view the application.

Usage

Select Date Range

Use the date pickers in the sidebar to select the start and end dates for the earthquake data you want to view.

Filter Earthquakes

Use the sliders in the sidebar to set the minimum and maximum magnitude and depth for the earthquakes. The map and data table will update automatically to reflect the filtered data.

Interactive Map

The map displays earthquake locations with color-coded markers based on magnitude:

Silver: Magnitude < 1.8 Yellow: 1.8 ≤ Magnitude < 2.4 Orange: 2.4 ≤ Magnitude < 5 Red: 5 ≤ Magnitude < 7 Magenta: 7 ≤ Magnitude < 8.5 Purple: Magnitude ≥ 8.5 Click on a marker to view details about the earthquake, including magnitude and location.

Data Table

Below the map, a data table displays detailed information about the filtered earthquakes, including the place, magnitude, time, longitude, latitude, and depth.
