Mapping earthquakes data in Python 3.x using matplotlib’s basemap. Example of Geographical Plotting using real time data.

The dataset is available at USGS Earthquake Hazards Program. There are 4 types of data available, depending upon the time. And in each type, there are 4 sub-types, depending upon the ritcher magnitude scale.

This analysis is done using the past month M4.5+ data.

Requirements

Make sure that you have anaconda3.

conda install basemap

You can directly go to the ipython notebook using the quakes-mybinder link.

Steps

The analysis is of two steps:
