A map of over 200,000 earthquakes


From the Smithsonian:
Data visualizer John Nelson, working for IDV Solutions, compiled historical earthquake records to produce this gorgeous, and informative, map... Nelson chose to make the dots, which each represent an earthquake with a magnitude of 4 or higher, brighter or dimmer depending on the size of the quake.
A total of 203,186 earthquakes, from 1898 through 2003.  At the Smithsonian, a second map correlates the pattern with the world's tectonic plates.
