Leaflet-Challenge

Introduction

This project was done to give a bigger view of the earthquakes around the world between 2020-May-01 and 2020-May-15 The map show the tectonic plates and the earthquakes giving details of each one like the location and the magnitud, also each point have a color providing us a color depending of the magnitud of the earthquake:

The ranges of magnitudes are:

• 0 - 1
• 1 - 2
• 2 - 3
• 3 - 4
• 4 - 5
• +5

Also you can change the layer color of the map choosing between Light or Dark Map; another feature is that you can activate or deactivate the tectonic lines and the citcles that contains the location and magnitude data.

The map can be consulted here -> Earthquakes map
