Seismicity in 3D

The 3D scatterplot below shows the selection of earthquakes satisfying the filter criteria above. You can use your mouse to click on the map and rotate it and zoom in or out. Clicking on the bottom right corner of the plot will allow you to resize the window. The units of depth are kilometers and 0.0km is sea level.

Please note: The events shown below are limited to those events less than 6km in depth. The 3D visualization provided below is implemented using the canvasXpress library, which employs the html5 canvas element in order to simulate 3D without any special download or plugin. It will only work on the latest, most current browsers. If you are having problems viewing the plot and have an older browser, we highly recommend either upgrading your browser, or installing the latest version of a different browser (e.g., Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome).
