See What’s Shaking: Earthquake Mashup

Earthquake mashup example screenshot

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides excellent data on earthquakes around the world. And, since they make it available as GeoRSS, it’s a popular example for maps. So, it was a natural to include in my book, as one of the five example mashups in the final chapter.

» Try out the Earthquakes Mashup

Rather than simply overlay the GeoRSS, I chose to provide icons that helped visualize an earthquake’s magnitude. And, since some parts of the world have more seismic activity than others, I provided a means to snap zoom to the hotspot zones.

If you’re looking to recreate this mashup, you’ll want these image files to make it happen:
For 5.0+ earthquakesFor 4.0-4.9 earthquakesFor small (2.5-3.9) earthquakes

  1. I am glad I found your site. These are some great working mashups. I like to be able to point people to live examples like this to give them an idea of what can be done nowadays.
