This project utilizes python and imported packages such as turles, pandas, and numpy. The project aims to utilize seismic data from national centers to map the epicenters of earthquakes. The ideas behind this project came from a class I took in my freshman year of college. Using seismic data, and the different types of waves, the distancance from where the data was taken and the epicenter of the earthquake can be calculated. Using this as a radius, a circle is then drawn around the siesmic station. Using 3 seprerate data centers, 3 circles can be drawn to triangulate the epicenter of the earthquake.
Ways to improve:
- use webscraping or an api to get the data and map any earthquake, not just ones I picked the data for
- make work for varying depths of waves, as of now, the deeper the waves, the less accurate
