The data is originally from USGS
and was made available by someone as a spreadsheet.
I updated it with information from Wikipedia, especially on
2010 and
2011
earthquakes. I also added country and continent information and several
Wikipedia links and images. The updated data is also available as
spreadsheet on Google docs.
Thanks to Sigrid Dösseler, Del Myers,
Christoph Treude
and Margaret-Anne Storey for helpful design suggestions. The earthquake visualization was in part inspired by
this blog post on visualizing earthquakes
and these two
visualizations of recent earthquakes.
