Global map of seismic events for the years 2010 and 2011 ([animation here](https://skfb.ly/6Mn8Y)). Here are some interesting events/features, clearly visible on this visualization: * March 2011 earthquake in Tohoku, Japan (see this [3D model](https://skfb.ly/6GULX)) * [February 2010 earthquake in Chile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Chile_earthquake) * Seismic activity in the [Tonga-Kermadec](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonga-Kermadec_Ridge) subduction system, the most "active" on earth (East of Australia) * [Seismic activity in the Scotia Arc](http://earthjay.com/earthquakes/20160819_sandwich/civile_etal_2012_tectonics_scotia.pdf), where continents want to emerge (East of southern Chile) * The fine [USGS](https://www.usgs.gov/) monitoring on the US west-coast, in Hawaii and in the Aleutian Trench (North Pacific), where even the smallest events (purple) are recorded. Seismic data comes from the [Earthquake Catalog](https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/), and was processed in Python.
