About this dataset
Earthquakes form an integral part of our planet’s geology. It is crucial to gain an understanding of the frequency and strength of these seismic activities, as this information is essential in both the cause and preventions of damaging earthquakes. Fortunately for us, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) captures comprehensive data on Earthquakes magnitude and location across the United States and its surrounding areas.
This dataset contains information such as time, latitude, longitude, depth, magnitude, type, gap between azimuthal gaps (gap), dmin which is minimum distance to nearest station (dmin), root mean square travel time residual (rms), Network which reported raised an incident report (net), updated date that was last updated or modified(updated) place horizonation uncertainty error - absolute value serves as 95% confidence interval radius(horizontalError)depth Horizonation uncertainty error - absolute value serve as 95% confidence interval radius(depthError)magHorizonation uncertainty error - absolute value serve as 95% confidence numberof seismic stations used to measure magnitude(magNst )Number statuses ie reviewed/reviewed_manual/automatic etc..status). This data can be a useful tool in building a more contextual picture around potential dangers posed by seismic activity

How to use the dataset
This dataset can be incredibly useful in uncovering geophysical insights about earthquakes. It contains comprehensive data about the magnitude and location of seismic activity, which can help to better understand the cause and prevention of damaging quakes.
Research Ideas
- Generating earthquake hazard maps to indicate seismic activity and risk levels in different areas.
- Developing predictive models of earthquake magnitude and probability of occurrence on the basis of geographic characteristics, previous seismic history and observed patterns of activity.
- Conducting analysis to determine correlations between geological features, human activities, and seismic events in order to better understand the causes and effects of potentially damaging earthquakes
