A 3D vi­su­al­iza­tion of real-​time earth­quake data

This is a 3D vi­su­al­iza­tion of real-​time earth­quake data gath­ered from the U.S. Ge­o­log­i­cal Sur­vey web­site. The data used in this ex­am­ple cov­ers all earth­quakes with a mag­ni­tude of at least 1 within the last 30 days. They are drawn into a tem­plate tex­ture image file of the Earth’s sur­face ac­cord­ing to the ge­o­graph­i­cal po­si­tion and the mag­ni­tude of the quake.
