An interactive Streamlit web app for monitoring earthquakes worldwide using real-time data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). This dashboard allows users to explore earthquake patterns over the past 30 days (by default) or more, filter by magnitude and date, view interactive maps, charts, and statistics, and download filtered data for further analysis.

Here’s the dashboard in action 👇
🔹 Interactive Map
- Earthquake epicenters displayed as clustered markers
- Heatmap overlay to highlight earthquake hotspots
- Popups with details: location, magnitude, depth, date/time, and a link to USGS event page
🔹 Filtering Options
- Minimum magnitude selector (slider)
- Custom date range filter
🔹 Summary Statistics
- Total earthquakes (filtered)
- Maximum magnitude
- Average magnitude
🔹 Data Exploration
- Interactive data table (sortable and scrollable)
- Download filtered data as CSV
🔹 Visualizations (Plotly)
- 📈 Earthquakes over time (time series)
- 📊 Magnitude distribution (histogram)
- 🌊 Depth distribution (histogram)
The app fetches data directly from the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program in GeoJSON format:
