Mapbox Heatmap

Heatmap showing recent Alaskan earthquakes

The above map was designed using Mapbox. The map is displaying GeoJSON data of all earthquakes that happened in Alaska over the past month. This map is displaying the earthquake GeoJSON data by density in the form of a heatmap to help visualize how many earthquakes actually happened. The map has very limited functionality, as it was designed to be more of a visual aid with the ability to pan and scroll. Thank you for taking the time to read and interact with my maps.
