Earthquake Visualizer

This Earthquake Visualizer is a Python project that allows users to visualize earthquake data on a world map. Through specifying the date, time, week, month, and magnitude size, results change dynamically through an interactive scatter graph.

Features

• Fetch earthquake data from a public API.
• Plot earthquake locations on a world map.
• Display earthquake magnitude and location information.
• Basic interactivity to zoom and pan the map.
